'Jamaica Inn is a first-rate page-turner' THE TIMES 'Daphne du Maurier has no equal' SUNDAY
TELEGRAPH 'Jamaica Inn is a novel about nothing less than pure evil ... with an eerie and
shocking kind of power in the novel's astonishing final act' JULIE MYERSON GUARDIAN In the
bitter November wind Mary Yellan crosses Bodmin Moor to Jamaica Inn. Her mother's dying wish
was that she take refuge there with her Aunt Patience. But when Mary arrives the warning of
the coachman echoes in her mind. Jamaica Inn has a desolate power and behind its crumbling
walls Patience is a changed woman cowering before her brooding violent husband. When Mary
discovers the inn's dark secrets the truth is more terrifying than anything she could possibly
imagine and she is forced to collude in her uncle's murderous schemes. Against her will she
finds herself powerfully attracted to her uncle's brother a man she dares not trust. Jamaica
Inn is a dark and gripping gothic tale that will remind readers of two other great classics
Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights . This was also made into a film also called Jamaica Inn
directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
