"The spell of the hushed garden had held me for a brief moment only, the scent of roses and the glow of the setting sun, but it was over now.
"'Who is Signor Rainaldi?' I asked."
-- My Cousin Rachel by Daphne du Maurier.
This is the second book I am reading for the the Daphne du Maurier Challenge hosted by Chris at book-a-rama. My challenge post is here.
I've read Rebecca (reviewed here) and still have The Flight of the Falcon left to go if I am to finish the challenge by the April 19 deadline. Better get cracking.

Gah, I love Daphne du Maurier. Great teaser. If you need more du Maurier, I found Rule Brittania to be hilarious and fun.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite authors. I just found her Flight of the Falcon among my books and have taken it out to re-read!

Nice teaser. It might tempt me to re-read the book.
ReplyDeleteI like the language in your teaser. I hope the book is as enjoyable. My teasers are from The Vampire Dimitri by Colleen Gleason and The Trouble With Spells by Lacey Weatherford. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteVery nice teaser. I have yet to read this one by du Maurier.

Sounds great. I have only read Rebecca but it is one of my favourite books of all time. I have this one sitting on my shelf at home and hope to read it one day soon. I love her writing.
