I can’t pin down my feelings about duMaurier. I like her books and I don’t like them. I find them both compelling and boring, pointless and meaningful.
Best as I can tell, if you like duMaurier, you’ll like this book. If you don’t, you won’t.

i love daphne’s writing style - and this book has something of woolf’s ‘mrs dalloway’ in it, in the way that it is full of recollections and narrative pov switches. it made me strangely emotional, towards the end, in Celia’s last chapter. the cover of my edition is a washed lilac-grey, and the book fits that colour.
