Daphne du Maurier Quote
No. Monsieur Ledru mused, as though he had but half heard. Then with a start: Oh, but most certainly not. No, it is rather a heaviness upon the mind—a weight as of lead upon brain and thoughts, while my legs are like paper under me. Lifting his hat he passed a thin hand over his forehead. It is such as when one cannot recall a name and goes under a burden until memory releases it.

About Daphne du Maurier
Although du Maurier is classed as a romantic novelist, her stories have been described as "moody and resonant" with overtones of the paranormal. Her bestselling works were not at first taken seriously by critics, but they have since earned an enduring reputation for narrative craft. Many have been successfully adapted into films, including the novels Rebecca, Frenchman's Creek, My Cousin Rachel and Jamaica Inn, and the short stories "The Birds" and "Don't Look Now". Du Maurier spent much of her life in Cornwall, where most of her works are set. As her fame increased, she became more reclusive.
