Honestly, Daphne's writing is absolutely beautiful. Not just the words, but also the way she conveys internal battles and unspoken worries and anxieties. The constant fluctuation from positive and hopeful to negative and worrisome. I don't think I have ever before come across something so psychological. Everything in this book is emotion.

One of the best books I have read so far. The way it went from a character study to mystery/crime was shockingly good.

A few very intense moments I these pages, intense feelings, negative ones, friction running deep and personal emotions being very intensely on display. I still don't have the slightest idea if this is just a romance or whether there's a crime involved. Bizarre.

The way characters are brought to life is beyond good, it is impossible. Very true to life, very present and with the accompanying inner feelings and thoughts of the main character, the book becomes a very immediate experience.

The way Daphne writes of the various internal battles of the main character and the descriptions of the interactions with other characters are nothing short of amazing.

Daphne's writing is exquisite. It affects me though, it digs through me and burrows to my younger years and fills me up with melancholy.

I had to go back and reread a couple of chapters after a few weeks of not reading. I tremendously enjoy Daphne's writing and how in tune she was with psychological reactions to even the slightest of the daily interactions.

I was somewhat worried that this would not be of interest to me. However, the exquisite descriptions and representation of Mrs Van Hopper have kept my interest piqued. Such very critical eye and obvious handle over the language to be able to portray such a character so well. Ufff.

Just read the first short chapter to get an idea of what the book reads like. I like the shorter sentences and the descriptions. I still think it is a bit on the longer side, I prefer books under 400 pages. Anyway, it's my first Daphne du Maurier, I hope I'll enjoy it.
