The Breaking Point
The Breaking Point: Stories | Daphne Du Maurier
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
"The appeal of romance and the clash of highly-charged emotions." --New York Herald-Tribune In this collection of suspenseful tales in which fantasies, murderous dreams and half-forgotten worlds are exposed, Daphne du Maurier explores the boundaries of reality and imagination. Her characters are caught at those moments when the delicate link between reason and emotion has been stretched to the breaking point. Often chilling, sometimes poignant, these stories display the full range of Daphne du Maurier's considerable talent.

The Breaking Point: Stories | Daphne Du Maurier
Pickpick

Another excellent collection from Daphne du Maurier. My favourite stories were "The Blue Lenses" (so freaky!!) and "The Menace" (a rather sweet story, actually). I would say maybe start with the collection that has The Birds or another of her novels before reading this one, but it is still great.

EvieBee Excellent advice! I‘ve got Don‘t Look Now on the shelf. Might be my next short story read. 6y
erzascarletbookgasm Will look out for this. I‘ve just ordered 6y
rabbitprincess @EvieBee Good good! I hope you enjoy it! @erzascarletbookgasm I'll have to look out for that one too! 6y

#MarchIntoReading- #CrazyCovers- While 'Rebecca' is the only book I've read by her, this cover isn't what I'd expect for a Daphne du Maurier book.

I kind of love this cover.

merelybookish It does seems off brand, somehow. 7y
LeahBergen I love it! Her stories can be pretty weird. 7y
TheKidUpstairs I kind of want a t-shirt made with that cover on it 7y
