Eco World Content From Across The Internet. It does not contain one speck of gritty, dour realism. If you want to be entertained with a fun implausible romantic adventure, you will be delighted by “Frenchman’s Creek”. Tony’s Book World: If you are seeking answers to the deep philosophical questions about the meaning of life or want to confront humdrum everyday routine, don’t read “Frenchman’s Creek”.
If you are seeking answers to the deep philosophical questions about the meaning of life or want to confront humdrum everyday routine, don’t read “Frenchman’s Creek”. These novels are “Trespass” by Rose Tremain, “Leaving Home” by Anita Brookner, “Gemma Bovery” by Posy Simmonds, and now “Frenchman’s Creek” by Daphne du Maurier. Yet over the last few months I’ve read four English novels where the French and the English interact closely with each other. I had always thought that even though England and France are very close geographically, the people of these two countries kept quite separate from each other. Many of her novels and stories take place near Cornwall. The novel takes place at Navron on the English coast near Cornwall which is where Daphne du Maurier lived much of her life. The characters are all vividly drawn, especially Dona St. It was a fun book that has its share of humor as well as adventure and romance. Still I thoroughly enjoyed this novel as well-written light fare. This is du Maurier’s most romantic story, and I probably would not have chosen it if I had known. The novels of du Maurier are always cinematic “Frenchman’s Creek” is especially so. “Frenchman’s Creek” is not at all sinister this swashbuckling adventure is about as sunny as a novel can be.
I’ve read “Rebecca” and “Jamaica Inn”, and they were both dark, suspenseful, and sinister. One thing I admire about “Frenchman’s Creek” is that it is so different from du Maurier’s other novels. Many exciting things happen to her, but probably the most fantastical element of the novel is that Dona never feels a twinge of guilt or regret. “Frenchman’s Creek” is about Dona’s escape. Columb longs to escape from her boring stuffy upper-class English society, her young children, and her somewhat of a twit husband.
