About this listen

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF REBECCA
On her eighteenth birthday, Honor Harris meets Sir Richard Grenvile: he is proud, reckless—and utterly captivating. They have a rare connection, and with her beauty and sharp wit, she intrigues him too. But days before their wedding, tragedy strikes and Honor must reconcile herself to a life alone.
Fifteen years later, war forces Honor to shelter with her sister at the Cornish estate of Menabilly. There, she meets Richard, who has risen through the ranks to become a general in the king's army. With all of England in turmoil, Honor must draw on her courage to save Richard's life and defend her country.
'She wrote exciting plots . . . a writer of fearless originality' GUARDIAN
'Fascinating historical romance, set in the period of England's Civil Wars' KIRKUS REVIEWS
'One of the last century's most original literary talents' DAILY TELEGRAPH

This is a beautifully written book, I always find Daphne Du Maurier's books are written in such a beautiful way, escapism and almost poetic. I could visual the beautiful landscape of Cornwall and Menabilly. I loved the character of Honour, her bravery and her confidence to say exactly what she thought. I also have listened to Rebecca and Frenchman's Creek, both books I recommend too. I love an author with a gift to write so beautifully. 🤍 📚

I loved every minute & could picture Cornwall as it would have been at the time of the story.
Well written & read. I didn’t want the story to end. My next listen will be another Daphne Du Maurier!

A fabulous story
