Rendition Concering Books My Cousin Rachel

Orphaned at an early age, Philip Ashley is raised by his benevolent older cousin, Ambrose. Resolutely single, Ambrose delights in Philip as his heir, a man who will love his grand home as much as he does himself. But the cosy world the two construct is shattered when Ambrose sets off on a trip to Florence. There he falls in love and marries - and there he dies suddenly. Jealous of his marriage, racked by suspicion at the hints in Ambrose's letters, and grief-stricken by his death, Philip prepares to meet his cousin's widow with hatred in his heart. Despite himself, Philip is drawn to this beautiful, sophisticated, mysterious Rachel like a moth to the flame. And yet... might she have had a hand in Ambrose's death?

Column Containing Books My Cousin Rachel

My first reading of this book and unfortunately I did not like it as much as I like Jamaica Inn and Rebecca. I found it to be much too long drawn out and I was never able to become attached to either Philip or Rachel. Consequently I was indifferent to the eventual outcome, not being worried about what happened to either of them.I was intrigued by the ending though. It is left totally to the reader to decide whether Rachel did it or not, an unusual way of concluding a book! Obviously the book is

Wow, did Daphne Du Maurier know how to tell a story! This was such a tremendously well-written piece of literature, and I feel pretty disappointed to have finished it. Although, I did buy Jamaica Inn today, so I can continue with my Du Maurier fix. After reading Rebecca, I just had to buy myself more Du Maurier books. Rebecca completely blew my mind. It was stunning, and I'll probably reread it again in the future. My Cousin Rachel, was a slow burner, everything happened with no sudden haste,

Click here to watch a video review of this book on my channel, From Beginning to Bookend. Du Maurier wields her audience like puppets, deftly stringing readers from truths to untruths in ways both delightful and maddening.

4.5/5. This was definitely a highlight of my reading year so far! It's a rather slow, but quietly unsettling story of distrust, obsession and ambiguity. Most of the story is set on a large country estate on the Cornish coast and I loved the descriptions of the landscape and atmosphere. Plus, the way du Maurier manages to play with and twist the reader's loyalties is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend this one!

I dont... Ok so I recently read (and loved) Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier & so imagine my excitement to read another gothic romance/thriller she wrote. I had such high hopes for this, especially given the number of people who Ive seen consider this somehow better than Rebecca. Ill be honest here. 1 Star, thats kind of an extreme rating. But giving it a 2 Stars or even a 1.5 Stars just doesnt feel like it genuinely represents how bad of a time I had while reading this. Im struggling to find

WOW! I liked MY COUSIN RACHEL even better than REBECCA!This dark old-fashioned style mystery gives the reader plenty of clues to contemplate, some suspicious evil characters to dissect and others who's naïvety and impulsive acts will make you want to scream with frustration.....or it did me.As for the ending....I loved it, but you'll have to decide for yourself if Rachel is innocent or guilty of a crime(s)......but IMHO (view spoiler)[ she is absolutely, positively 100% guilty, guilty, guilty!!!

4.5 to 5 stars Gosh am I spent from this story. This was a ride and I enjoyed it tremendously!I've jumped on board the "Daphne du Maurier is a queen" train after reading this book. It has been such a long time since I fell so hardcore into a book's atmosphere and plot. This is definitely my top read of the month. Wouldnt be surprised if it was a finalist for my top reads of the year either. Cant believe I waited 2 years of owning this audiobook to listen to it, but better late than never.Philip
