A tale of love and adventure from the internationally bestselling author of Rebecca. 'She wrote exciting plots . . . a writer of fearless originality' GUARDIAN 'One of the last century's most original literary talents' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'A pure, exhilarating adventure story - a swashbuckling tale of exquisite danger and tangled love' JULIE MYERSON The Restoration Court knows Lady Dona St Columb to be ripe for any folly, any outrage that will alter the tedium of her days. But there is another, secret Dona who longs for a life of honest love - and sweetness, even if it is spiced with danger. It is this Dona who flees the stews of London for remote Navron, looking for peace of mind amid its solitary woods and hidden creeks. She finds there the passion her spirit craves - in the love of a daring pirate hunted by all Cornwall, a Frenchman who, like Dona, would gamble his life for a moment's joy.

If you are new to Du Maurier this is a grand book, fast paced Regency with out the perfect period flourish and detail of Georgette Heyer, the best of the Regency authors. Having read all Heyer, and all Winston Grahame (Poldark series & other Cornwall novels), I came to Du Maurier. Her craft is superb, and her knowledge of the human heart. Couldn't put this one down and immediately posted it on cousin who has read most Du Maurier but not this.
So! what is it about:
A French aristo pirate, a bored English wife of the gentry who removes from London life to her husband's estate in Cornwall. Where she is content, free and glad once again to be alive. Then she stumbles upon the ship anchored in a side creek of a
tidal river. There the adventure begins with her new found friend, the poetry reading, bird sketching robin hood of a pirate. Wonderful fluff yet erudite and delightful. Highly recommended.

True to form Daphne Du Maurier held me once again spellbound in her story telling.
This was an excellant novel taking place once again around the area of England that is very familiar to me.
I now have seven of her books and still collecting, Her books never fail to please.
