FROM THE BESTSELLING WRITER OF REBECCA
'The House on the Strand is prime du Maurier . . . ' NEW YORK TIMES
'She wrote exciting plots . . . a writer of fearless originality' GUARDIAN
'No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification . . . ' MARGARET FORSTER
I realized at that moment, more strongly than hitherto, how fantastic, even macabre, was my presence amongst them, unseen, unborn, a freak in time, witness to events that had happened centuries past . . .
When Dick Young arrives at Kilmarth, the Cornish home of his friend Professor Magnus Lane, he discovers a secret. Magnus has been experimenting with a new drug that allows the user to slip back in time - and Dick has a chance to escape his present troubles. Transported to fourteenth-century Cornwall, Dick becomes an invisible witness to intrigue, adultery and murder.
But with each dose of the drug, his addiction to this other world - and his withdrawal from his own - grows stronger. And every attempt to change history puts his own life in jeopardy . . .
Du Maurier's striking novel weaves together past and present into an addictive time-slip thriller.
Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) was born in London, England. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning with whom she had three children. Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now. In 1969, du Maurier was awarded the Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE). She lived most of her life in Cornwall and died there which is the setting for many of her books.
