About
Tales of human frailty and obsession, and of romance gone tragically awry. In these pages, a waterlogged notebook washes ashore revealing a dark story of jealousy and obsession, a vicar coaches a young couple divided by class issues, and an older man falls perilously in love with a much younger woman - with each tale demonstrating du Maurier's extraordinary storytelling gifts and her deep understanding of human nature.

"...vividly portrays with humor, candidness, and detail du Maurier's fascination with the problems of human connection...love...these stories, written before she was 23, foreshadow the themes and preoccupations of the work that would bring her literary fame."
Publishers Weekly
"...meticulously crafted...effective and gripping...Old-fashioned fun."
Kirkus Reviews
