But young Mary Yellan chose instead to honor her mother's dying request that she join her frightened Aunt Patience and huge, hulking Uncle Joss Merlyn at Jamaica Inn.From her first glimpse on that raw November eve, she could sense the inn's dark power. But never did Mary dream that she would become hopelessly ensnared in the vile, villainous schemes being hatched within its crumbling walls—or that a handsome, mysterious stranger would so incite her passions... tempting her to love a man whom she dares not trust.\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/font\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n   \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n    \u003cb\u003e\n     Rebecca\n    \u003c\/b\u003e\n    , 10 leaves of plates, 430 pp.\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n    The novel begins in Monte Carlo, where our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck.

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?\n   \u003c\/font\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n  Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description.
