Somehow I had never read this classic and finally got around to it. I loved it. I'm sure many of you have already read it, but for those of you who haven't it is a great love story/mystery. Very readable and enjoyable.

I read this a couple summers ago for the first time - really liked it, too. (NT) -- MaryJ, 16:52:27 10/17/11 Mon
I just read Frenchman's Creek by DuMaurier - another good romance. (NT) -- HollyC, 14:50:04 10/18/11 Tue
- Haha Monica, I just saw your comment about vampire porn below! When I mentioned Frenchman's Creek I was thinking how even without the explicit, 'steamy' nature of BDB and the Frost books (which I also liked), DuMaurier managed to get you to visualize the attraction between the pirate and Dona, and some of her double entendre's are very fun. I wonder if she was writing now if she'd spice her books up even more? Not that they need it, sometimes imagination is just as good as details :-) , but when you read an older book you do kind of realize how restrained the author's probably were by what was the social norm in literature, and now how almost anything goes.

I read this last year and really enjoyed it. I've also just read Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights is the next classic on my list. Have always loved Jane Austen but had somehow never got around to DuMaurier or the Bronte sisters. (NT) -- Rhiann, 17:55:37 10/18/11 Tue
This has been one of my favorite books since I was a teenager. (So much better than the movie with Mr. 2 x 4-up-his-butt Olivier. But Judith Anderson rocked as Mrs. Danvers.) (NT) -- Lemora, 19:28:59 10/19/11 Wed
Try Du Maurier's The House on the Strand.It's about time travel. I also love The King's General. It has a heroine with a difference (NT) -- albion, 11:04:31 10/20/11 Thu
I read every book she wrote in my twentys which was a very very long time ago. She was one of my favorites (NT) -- Lynda J, 21:02:41 10/21/11 Fri
