Narration To Books My Cousin Rachel
Orphaned at an early age, Philip Ashley is raised by his benevolent older cousin, Ambrose. Resolutely single, Ambrose delights in Philip as his heir, a man who will love his grand home as much as he does himself. But the cosy world the two construct is shattered when Ambrose sets off on a trip to Florence. There he falls in love and marries - and there he dies suddenly. Jealous of his marriage, racked by suspicion at the hints in Ambrose's letters, and grief-stricken by his death, Philip prepares to meet his cousin's widow with hatred in his heart. Despite himself, Philip is drawn to this beautiful, sophisticated, mysterious Rachel like a moth to the flame. And yet... might she have had a hand in Ambrose's death?

4.5 to 5 stars Gosh am I spent from this story. This was a ride and I enjoyed it tremendously!I've jumped on board the "Daphne du Maurier is a queen" train after reading this book. It has been such a long time since I fell so hardcore into a book's atmosphere and plot. This is definitely my top read of the month. Wouldnt be surprised if it was a finalist for my top reads of the year either. Cant believe I waited 2 years of owning this audiobook to listen to it, but better late than never.PhilipMy first reading of this book and unfortunately I did not like it as much as I like Jamaica Inn and Rebecca. I found it to be much too long drawn out and I was never able to become attached to either Philip or Rachel. Consequently I was indifferent to the eventual outcome, not being worried about what happened to either of them.I was intrigued by the ending though. It is left totally to the reader to decide whether Rachel did it or not, an unusual way of concluding a book! Obviously the book is
4.5/5. This was definitely a highlight of my reading year so far! It's a rather slow, but quietly unsettling story of distrust, obsession and ambiguity. Most of the story is set on a large country estate on the Cornish coast and I loved the descriptions of the landscape and atmosphere. Plus, the way du Maurier manages to play with and twist the reader's loyalties is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend this one!
I loved this story! It reminded me so much of Rebecca, both have that gothic atmosphere, the bit of romance, the slow moving story that builds such tension, and the dimwitted main character. I thought briefly this might even surpass Rebecca as my favorite, but how can you top 'Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again'? Though not too shabby here with 'They used to hang men at Four Tunings in the old days'.My Cousin Rachel tells the story of obsession. Philip is a young gent, who is
Was Rachel innocent or guilty? Maybe I shall learn that too, in purgatory. I haven't been reading a lot lately because of exams, report cards, and all those June responsibilities that create tired teachers. Also I recently "discovered " Sense8 on Netflix. But My Cousin Rachel was the kind of book that once opened is impossible to put down. My Cousin Rachel is narrated by 24 year old Philip Ashley. Raised by an older cousin, Ambrose, Philip has lived the lifestyle of the rich and famous. All

There are some women, Philip, good women very possibly, who through no fault of their own impel disaster. Whatever they touch, somehow turns to tragedy. Daphne du Maurier, My Cousin RachelDid she? didn't she? It's driving me crazy!SPOILERS:I got lost in this book. I just read it recently. I liked it better then Rebecca.I will not list the plot because most people already know. The thing I want to talk about is how amazing the book is. And how I was almost driven crazy by the ending.I had
