In 'Jamaica Inn', Daphne du Maurier transports us to the moors of Cornwall, where the young orphan Mary Yellan heads to her aunt Patience's isolated inn. In this dark and infamous place, Mary finds herself caught in an atmosphere of storms, desolate landscapes, and dark secrets. The novel, a modern classic, mixes fascination with darkness with a denunciation of domestic brutality, exploring the terror and agony of a world dominated by unscrupulous men.
