Only du Maurier could make me adore an entire book centring around a truly unlikable main character. The life of the titular character was explored, from his impoverished childhood spent in a village on the banks of the Seine to his later years as a wealthy and renowned, yet ruthless and jealous, individual residing in Britain, with his wife and daughter. Seeing his growth remained endlessly interesting, even if I never warmed to his characters despite the many plights that befell him. The alterations in the wider world were also explored and I found these just as exciting and illuminating.
