Title : Jamaica Inn - Daphne Du Maurier - book

Summary :

Orphaned and poor, Mary Yellan has no other recourse than to leave the country of her childhood to go and live with her aunt, married to an innkeeper, on a desolate Atlantic coast. From the moment she arrives at the Jamaica Inn, Mary suspects terrifying mysteries. This aunt, whom she knew young and cheerful, is now nothing more than an unfortunate woman, terrorized by Joss, her husband, a menacing drunkard, who orders Mary not to ask questions about the inn's visitors. An inn in which, moreover, no true traveler has stopped for a long time... Terrible trials await the young girl before she finds salvation at the same time as love. In the great romantic tradition of the Brontë sisters, the English novelist, author of Rebecca , takes us with a prodigious sense of atmosphere and intrigue to the heart of a land of moors and marshes, battered by storms, where the ancestral savagery of pirates and shipwreckers still lingers.
