However when you read till the end and look back at this first passage again you will appreciate how superbly brilliant Du Maurier had tied the opening and the end together and that, is a sign of a masterpiece.īy now, readers of my blog have come to be familiar of the fact that I own a collection of Du Maurier’s books. When I first read this first passage of the book, it seems inconsequential to the whole theme about Cousin Rachel. And the body has decent burial, though a nameless grave. That is, if the law convicts him, before his own conscience kills him. Now, when a murderer pays the penalty for his crime, he does so up at Bodmin, after fair trial at the Assizes. They used to hang men at Four Turnings in the old days. We had read 4 Du Maurier novels together and My Cousin Rachel is the last of the 4 novels in Bina’s compilation. Bina ifyoucanreadthis has been my Du Maurier reading buddies since last year.
