She was a woman, and for no reason in heaven or earth she loved him. He had kissed her, and she was bound to him for ever.

On a bitter November evening, Mary Yellan crosses the windswept Cornish moors to seek revenge with her Aunt Patience at Jamaica Inn. But the crumbling inn is no safe haven, and Patience is a changed woman, cowering before her domineering husband Joss. In fear of her life, and disturbed by her powerful attraction to Joss’s younger brother, Mary is soon plunged into a brutal world of smuggling and murder in which she can trust no one – not even herself.

‘The author’s stunning evocation of her beloved Cornwall is the real star of this book’ RUTH WARE

Publisher Review

Jamaica Inn is a first-rate page-turner * The Times * For, ultimately, Jamaica Inn is a novel about nothing less than pure evil. Not the lumpen, drunken, thuggish evil that men like Joss can effect, but something much worse – a force that Du Maurier only begins to put into words, with an eerie and shocking kind of power, in the novel’s astonishing final act — Julie Myerson * Guardian * A perfect fusion of gothic romance and a young woman’s rite of passage in the vein of Twilight and Wuthering Heights * Independent * Daphne du Maurier has no equal * Sunday Telegraph * Jamaica Inn is perhaps the most accomplished historical romance ever written * Good Book Guide * A dark tale. A brilliant thriller * Daily Express * A dark tale. A brilliant thriller * Daily Express *
