Notes
Wow, this was so great - du Maurier is SO good at mood and tense. This is a book that I went into cold. I've never seen the Hitchcock movie, or any adaptation. It FEELS like a ghost story, and you just have a very clear sense that something bad is going to happen or has happened - really the prototype for every version of the horror movie where Innocent Person joins a rich family and They Have Secret Trauma. But it's not trite at all; just very well done.
