Review:
A good original novel, well tinged with nightmare (Times Literary Supplement)
What a magnificent thriller this is (NY Times Book Review)
No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification . . . She satisfied all the questionable criteria of popular fiction, and yet satisfied the exacting requirements of "real literature", something very few novelists ever do (Margaret Forster)
She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality (Guardian)
Book Description:
A masterful exploration of doubling and identity, and of the dark side of the self. One of du Maurier's most accomplished novels.
