The Rendezvous And Other Stories
The Rendezvous And Other Stories | Daphne Du Maurier
5 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Mary Farren went into the gun room one morning about half-past eleven, took her husband's revolver and loaded it, then shot herself. The butler heard the sound of the gun from the pantry... The fourteen haunting stories in this collection span the whole of Daphne du Maurier's writing career and explore every human emotion: an apparently happily married woman commits suicide; a steamer in wartime is rescued by a mysterious sailing-ship; a dull husband breaks loose in a surprising fashion; a con woman plays her game once too often; and a famous novelist looks for romance, only to meet with bitter disappointent. Each meticulously observed tale shows du Maurier's mastery of the genre.

The Rendezvous And Other Stories | Daphne Du Maurier

I love Rebecca but these short stories aren‘t doing anything for me. They aren‘t bad but I found myself only half listening and not really that interested in any of the stories besides the first one, so returning it. #audiobook

merelybookish I haven't had much success with short stories on audio. I don't know why. Just hard to stay clear and focused. 6y
youneverarrived @merelybookish I never thought of that but I think that might be the case, as they weren‘t bad stories - just couldn‘t keep focused on them. 6y

Short stories collection, some are very good, some aren‘t so good, but all of them are exploring a dark side of the human nature. Perfect book for commuting and waiting time.

As a writer of #ShortStories Daphne du Maurier is my recent discovery ... after I had read a collection of short stories The Doll, I immediately bought this one ... and it‘s still unread.

Simona @LeahBergen @BarbaraBB I like hers short stories, a lot. Actually, I liked all of them in The Doll ... and that was quite a surprise for me, because I wasn't overly impressed with the Rebecca 🤷‍♀️ 7y
BarbaraBB I loved The Doll and Don‘t Look Now (short stories as well), and het novels too. 7y
