Castle Dor by Daphne Du Maurier
Reader Reviews 5 of 9 people found the following review helpful: An overlooked Gem!!, April 15, 2002 Reviewer: DeborahAnne MacGillivray from Scotland, England, Kentucky (US) This book was given to my by my uncle when I was 10, for he knew it would appeal to me. It did and still does. I have reread this many times, and was just pulling it out to do it again and thought maybe I would pass on my love for this book. The original manuscript was done by Arthur Quiller-Couch but never finished, so the great Daphne Dumaurier picked up the baton and carried on to give us a haunting tale of Auld Souls, star-crossed lovers shrouded in the mists of Cornwall. A simply country doctor recognises the signs and moves to keep the doomed lovers apart so the ancient pattern will not be repeated. But the more they try to keep them from each other, the more Fate steps is so prove the pattern cannot be broken. A stunning gem, one I am surprised is not reprinted more or made in a movie. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title
