FROM THE BESTSELLING WRITER OF REBECCA 'Electric . . . a compelling thriller' BRIDGET COLLINS
'The House on the Strand is prime du Maurier' NEW YORK TIMES 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 an old friend, Professor Magnus Lane, offers him his home in Cornwall for the summer, Dick Young is relieved to escape his troubles. But Kilmarth and its owner are concealing a secret: Magnus has been experimenting with a new drug that allows the user to slip back in time. Transported back to the fourteenth-century, Dick becomes an invisible witness to a history of intrigue, adultery and murder. But with each dose of the drug, his addiction to the other world grows stronger - and his estrangement from reality ever more dangerous. Du Maurier's striking novel weaves together past and present into an addictive time-slip thriller. 'The master of slow-burning menace' STACEY HALLS 'No writer has conveyed the sheer strangeness of being human as well as du Maurier' ANDREW MICHAEL HURLEY
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.
