Which of Daphne Du Maurier's novels is the most inspiring and powerful?

The first one I ever read- The House on The Strand- i read it when I was about 16- the teacher of my Reading class noticed that I read 99% british books and bought the paperback with me in mind--I was totally hooked on that book and not only have I reread ( or listened to the book on tape) at yrly -I actually stayed in the area in Cornwall where the book takes place and saw many of the places described in the book.( there is a map in the book) And I visited the Daphne book center in Fowey Cornwall.


I love the fact %26amp; fiction blend- the 'time travel' and the history. The ending rather freaked my teenage brain out.


Since that book I have read everything she has written-some several times and I have several bios on Daphne.


I tend to enjoy the history related and the Macabe stories the most. I like that many of her books leave room for the reader to draw their own conclusions-they are not all cut %26amp; dried. I will admitt that I didn't like all her books-maybe someday i should give one or two a reread and see if I have changed my mind.


But House on The Strand began my love of her works and my love of Cornwall ( later the Poldark series only intenified it)

Reply:I love "Rebecca", I first read it when I was 13, and I still read it every year or so. I also like "The Scapegoat" - I think it's quite unlike any of her other books. Her short stories can be quite spooky - like "The Apple Tree".





Happy reading!!
Reply:I've only read "Rebecca" for school reading. i would've never picked it up if it wasnt for school. but i actually really liked it.
