"You are very young, Mary Yellan, [...] you are nothing but a chicken with the broken shell still around you. You'll come through your little crisis. [...] Come now, dry your eyes; you are not the first to bite your nails over a lost lover."
Like the narrator of Rebecca, Mary Yellan has become another one of my favourite protagonists. She's daring, smart, relatable and carefully flawed. I love her.
I think the narrative stumbles a little: a lot of aspects feel underdeveloped, and I think the twist villain is a bit weak.
But Jamaica Inn cements du Maurier as one of my all time favourite authors.
