Description - Castle Dor by Daphne Du Maurier
BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF REBECCA 'She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense' GUARDIAN 'A stunning gem . . . ' SUNDAY TIMES 'No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification' MARGARET FORSTER Both a spellbinding love story and a superb evocation of Cornwall's mythic past, Castle Dor is a book with unique and fascinating origins. It began life as the unfinished last novel of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, the celebrated 'Q', and was passed by his daughter to Daphne du Maurier whose storytelling skills were perfectly suited to the task of completing the old master's tale. The result is this magical, compelling recreation of the legend of Tristan and Iseult, transplanted in time to nineteenth century Cornwall. A chance encounter between a Breton onion-seller, Amyot Trestane, and the newly-wed Linnet Lewarne launches their tragic story, taking them in the fateful footsteps of the doomed lovers of Cornish legend . . .
