Everyone knows that Maxim de Winter was obsessed with his glamorous wife - and devastated by her tragic death.

What an emotional coastal ride beautifully written with detailed breath taken description every page enlightened you sense you are there with the narrator one if not the best book that I have ever read very fulfilling hard to put down. The writers detailed and descriptive language with scenery is second to none allowing the reader to use all their senses captivating and powerful in bringing these characters alive highly compelling for a book written over 60 years ago she was definitely a woman of immense style and substance

She lived most of her life in Cornwall and died there which is the setting for many of her books.
