'Her influence on fiction is incalculable, her imagination unsurpassable' ANDREW MICHAEL HURLEY
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.
'The author's stunning evocation of her beloved Cornwall is the real star of this book' RUTH WARE

About the Author
Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) was born in London, England. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning with whom she had three children.
Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now. In 1969, du Maurier was awarded the Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE). She lived most of her life in Cornwall and died there which is the setting for many of her books.Also by Daphne Du Maurier
