Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Shrubs of broom grow black and twistedAs if by Devil's fingers And the wind that never ceases, Like a chorus from the dead. Those who lived here it's for certain, would grow dark and tortured too' In Jamaica Inn, at the heart of the bleak Bodmin Moor, young Mary Yellen soon discovers mysterious goings-on in the dead of night. But worse is yet to come as Mary finds herself helplessly ensnared in the deadly activities taking place around her.

Evocative, atmospheric and chilling, this new adaptation of Jamaica Inn has all the hallmarks of a great adventure classic - murder, mystery and malevolence.

Recenzii

'Whatever she would have to face in the future, and however frightened she would be, she would not leave Jamaica Inn now . . .'
On a bitter November evening, Mary Yellan crosses the windswept Cornish moors to seek refuge with her Aunt Patience at Jamaica Inn. But the crumbling inn is no safe haven, and Patience is a changed woman, cowering before her domineering husband Joss. Plunged into a brutal world of smuggling and murder, and disturbed by her powerful attraction to Joss's younger brother, Mary knows there is no one she can trust. Only by crossing her own moral line can she save herself...

'A great gothic writer' KATE MOSSE
'A novel about nothing less than pure evil . . . with an eerie and shocking kind of power' JULIE MYERSON
'A brilliantly executed thriller' VOGUE
'A dark tale. A brilliant thriller' DAILY EXPRESS

Jamaica Inn is a first-rate page-turner
For, ultimately, Jamaica Inn is a novel about nothing less than pure evil. Not the lumpen, drunken, thuggish evil that men like Joss can effect, but something much worse - a force that Du Maurier only begins to put into words, with an eerie and shocking kind of power, in the novel's astonishing final act
A perfect fusion of gothic romance and a young woman's rite of passage in the vein of Twilight and Wuthering Heights
Daphne du Maurier has no equal
Jamaica Inn is perhaps the most accomplished historical romance ever written
A dark tale. A brilliant thriller
