Philip Ashley has been raised by his somewhat eccentric uncle Ambrose.
I picked up My Cousin Rachel with my expectations set pretty high even before checking out what the book was all about… What It Is About But a quick search through Google, and I was convinced Daphne du Maurier would definitely be an author I’d want on my bookshelf. I’ve never seen an adaptation of any of her work or read anything by her. There is also My Cousin Rachel from 2017 (starring Sam Claflin and Rachel Weisz), as well as Netflix’s 2020 version of Rebecca (Lily James, Armie Hammer and Kirstin Scott Thomas). Hitchcock based a few of his movies on her writings, including Rebecca and The Birds. There are also a few very well-known adaptations of Du Maurier’s novels. I’ve also heard many praises of her writing style, setting the atmosphere and character work. So, I decided to leave it for the next year and read something else by this author.ĭaphne du Maurier is known as a queen of dark, gothic, unnerving novels in which not even the end brings a full reveal. And autumn, and specifically October, seemed like the perfect time for it.īut, I couldn’t get a copy of Rebecca in time for this year’s pre-Halloween read. I’ve heard so many amazing things about it, I just had to try it out.
To be completely honest, the only reason why I picked up My Cousin Rachel was because Daphne du Maurier has gained a lot of attention lately with her other gothic mystery novel – Rebecca.
