Roger Kylmerth, steward to Sir Henry Champeroune, is the connecting link to Richard. I myself was thinking to set out and read all of her writings. Published Of course I’m a fan of du Maurier’s earlier classics such as Rebecca and Jamaica Inn, but this is her best novel, in my opinion. The book is told using two time lines.

Once Dick gets a taste of Kilmarth & surrounding area he has come attached to the people & especially beautiful Isolda. But two specific elements really made the book gripping: the parallel story line of England of the Middle Ages, and Richard’s discovery of the truth behind the events that happened in his life.Du Maurier is a master of mood-setting, and her vivid description of Cornwall terrain adds to the story and really makes readers feel as though they are part of the narrative.I won’t lie, I often found myself daydreaming of wandering the fields of fourteenth century England.

I liked the idea, it wAn unusual DuMaurier in that it's a time-travel novel. . This book was among the best and has rekindled my interest in this author and I will buy more books by her.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2018 II read a CRAZY-GOOD-BOOK years ago called "Blinding Light", by Paul Theroux that "The House on the Strand", reminded me of at times.

After all, have you ever read a du Maurier that didn’t pose more questions than it answered?Daphne du Maurier writes very deep books that masquerade as mystery/romances.
