A review by forever_amber
Hungry Hill by Daphne du Maurier

5.0

Absolutely astonishing Daphne, I must say I was sure I will like this novel, but I did not expect such a thing! Marvelous work with characters, with the plot, with the flow of thoughts and impressions. It is one of the best family sagas I have read (a genre I adore). Such profundity and insight, such understanding of what lays beneath a person's self. This is characteristic for Daphne, but still, here it is enormously brilliant, much more than in "Rebecca", for example. And the ways she speaks about nature...

I love this lady, she is so gifted, and also so physically beautiful. Equally delicate both in appearance, and in her way of writing. Oh, such a gem for humanity!
