Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at a book that is incredibly famous.

Jamaica Inn (1936)

Daphne Du Maurier

Synopsis

She was a woman, and for no reason in heaven or earth she loved him. He had kissed her, and she was bound to him for ever.

On a bitter November evening, Mary Yellan crosses the windswept Cornish moors to seek revenge with her Aunt Patience at Jamaica Inn. But the crumbling inn is no safe haven, and Patience is a changed woman, cowering before her domineering husband Joss. In fear of her life, and disturbed by her powerful attraction to Joss’s younger brother, Mary is soon plunged into a brutal world of smuggling and murder in which she can trust no one – not even herself.
