I just love Daphne du Maurier so much. The way she wrote addiction in this book is so clever and true to life and I was drawn right into the story. The historical sections didn’t grab me until later in the book as I found it confusing to try and keep up with them all, and I found it a bit of a chore to get through the geographical descriptions too. Not my favourite of her work that I’ve read so far but still largely enjoyable.
