“My Cousin Rachel ”
Daphne du Maurier
Scheduled for screening at January’s Asby Cinema, the film adaptation of this novel has received critical acclaim. For bookworms this is not only a great classic novel to read over the holiday period it would also gives the opportunity to “compare and contrast” the two media.
Orphaned at an early age, Philip Ashley is raised by his cousin, Ambrose. Resolutely single, Ambrose delights in making Philip his heir, knowing that he will treasure his beautiful Cornish estate. But Philip’s world is shattered when Ambrose sets off on a trip to Florence. There he falls in love and marries – and then dies suddenly in suspicious circumstances.
Before long, the new widow – Philip’s cousin Rachel – arrives in England. Despite himself, Philip is drawn to the beautiful, mysterious woman. But could she have caused Ambrose’s death?
An old fashioned mystery that’s certainly on a par with “Rebecca”.
All welcome – no fees – just come along to listen even if you have not read the book.
