Assess About Books The House on the Strand

Another outstanding book by du Maurier. A very engaging story involving dual stories and time travel! Hugely enjoyed :-)

I read a CRAZY-GOOD-BOOK years ago called "Blinding Light", by Paul Theroux that "The House on the Strand", reminded me of at times. -CRAZY ....but addicting!!! IIn both books we get drawn into the main characters experience on a hallucinogenic drug. The tension-suspense- fantasy -is...... C R A Z Y!!! -- and GOOD!!!I 'admit' ---I liked Paul Theroux's book better a little better than Ms. Maurier --- as this book was a sloggy-slow start ... and got confusing in parts -but then got WILD-FUN

An unusual DuMaurier in that it's a time-travel novel. I found it quite readable, but I could not make myself pay any attention to the complex relationships, housing arrangements and hierarchies of the 13th century characters--very odd, because I got the impression they were supposed to be so much more vivid and intense than the modern day characters. I had not before encountered the idea of time travel as an effect of inherited memory combined with hallucinogenic drugs... I liked the idea, it

I am really enjoying reading her books. This mixture of time travel through drugs back to 14th century is memorizing. Dick his torn between his mundane present life and the excitement of medieval Cornwall. Vita his American wife is unlikeable in comparison to Isolde and also boring. Dissatisfaction with his life leads Dick to taking the drug more and more with an ambiguous ending.

Daphne du Maurier wrote a novel with time travel in it and you guys didn't even tell me.

Daphne du Maurier writes very deep books that masquerade as mystery/romances. No two are alike, and in this novel she steps into the world of time travel (or maybe she doesnt). After all, have you ever read a du Maurier that didnt pose more questions than it answered?We are taken into the world of Richard Young, a man who has reached a crossroads in life and is contemplating what his next step is going to be. His best friend, Magnus, a bit of a mad scientist, has loaned Richard his home in

Really quite a dreadful novel, though a page turner as Daphne du Maurier books tend to be. Guy called Richard takes a vacation at his friend Magnus's house in Cornwall. Magnus is a biochemist who has created a new drug and convinces Richard to try it: the drug transports Richard back in time 600 years to be an unseen witness of events among the minor nobility in 14th century England. Two stories unwind side by side, Richard in the present, and Cornwall in the 1300s. Both are a let-down. Richard
