This was an excellent book of short stories written by Daphne du Maurier mostly in the years between 1926- 1932 although some were not published until later. They are written in the recognisable style of du Maurier with that hint of the cruelty and spitefulness of life.

Most of the stories are about relationships viewed from just one side, many from the point of view of the woman but some from the man’s point of view too.



East Wind - Passion disrupts the peace of a tranquil island.

The Doll � A Creepy tale of unnatural obsession.

And Now to God the Father � The sin of pride and its consequences upon the innocent bystanders.

Piccadilly � A young woman who is used, abused and discarded.

Tame Cat � A young girl out of her depth in a grown up world.

Mazie - A young woman trying to survive on the dark streets.

Nothing Hurts For Long � Having glibly said this to a good friend a woman finds what it is like to be on the other side .

Week-End � How a relationship that started to well can change so quickly.

The Happy Valley � A dream? A foreboding? Mental Illness?

And His Letters Grew Colder � A lover spurned or trying to break free from obsession.

The Limpet - A story of a manipulative and truly unpleasant woman.
