Hungry Hill by Daphne du Maurier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
First, this is not a happy volume. du Maurier builds up, I believe, the largest body county of any of her books. Mostly of the of the family that is the focus of the book. Not an uplifting book.
This is another of du Maurier’s sprawling novels following a family over a century plus. The characters are very well developed. There are a lot of characters and du Maurier does it again creating and then consistently using those characters as her story goes along.
Her writing of the mining business and those that work those mines is very impressive. Especially those that run the mines and the interaction with the business.
I love du Maurier’s writing ability and this book is worth that reading trek.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 8 out of ten points.
