About this item
From the wild heart of Cornwall comes a family saga of longing, legacy, and the fierce bonds that endure beyond a lifetime.
Janet Coombe's wild spirit yearns for the sea and for freedom, yet her devotion to family shapes the destiny of her descendants―her memory lingering in every shadow along the Cornish coast. Across decades, through triumph and tragedy, the Coombe family is forever changed by Janet's courage and the mysterious ties that bind them to their land and each other.
Daphne du Maurier's acclaimed debut delivers everything fans of historical fiction crave: lush, lyrical prose, unforgettable characters, and the haunting, windswept beauty of Cornwall.
Includes a bonus Reading Group Guide, perfect for book clubs and discussion.
Praise for The Loving Spirit:
"Daphne du Maurier has no equal." - Sunday Telegraph
"[du Maurier] tells a story because it's a good story, because it has something of beauty in it, and therefore of truth. She pictures life itself rather than all the dark and torturous currents that twist below its surface… Miss du Maurier's book is a grand one." - Chicago Tribune
Daphne du Maurier's 1938 novel Rebecca made her one of the most successful writers of her time. Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation of the book won the Best Picture Oscar in 1940. He later used her material for The Birds. In 1969, du Maurier was created a Dame of the British Empire.
