First edition, first printing. Published by Gollancz in London, 1951. This is a very good (or better) copy. The dust wrapper has some mild chipping at the corners and at the top and tail of the spine. It has not been price clipped, showing the original 12/6 net price. The boards are free from notable chips and marks and are attractively bound in the original publishers cloth. The text blocks are bright and clean. This copy is free from previous owners ink. This is a very good (or better) copy.

Bearing thematic similarities to her earlier and more famous novel Rebecca, it is a mystery-romance, set primarily on a large estate in Cornwall. The story has its origins in a portrait of Rachel Carew at Antony House in Cornwall, which du Maurier saw and took as inspiration.
