Hungry Hill

Hungry Hill – Daphne Du Maurier (c.1980, Penguin Books)

This is Hungry Hill, Du Maurier’s sprawling multi-generation family saga, where fortunes are made and lost, curses run deeper than the copper mines, and not everyone gets a happy ending (surprise: it’s Du Maurier). The book itself? A slightly battered 1980 Penguin edition – the kind with a cover that looks like it’s been through as much family drama as the Irish gentry inside. Expect a few creases, maybe a faded spine, and the faint whiff of “read in the bath during the Thatcher years.”

Perfect if you love atmospheric storytelling, feuding families, or just want to look literary while pretending you definitely knew Du Maurier wrote more than Rebecca. Not perfect if you’re hunting for a pristine collector’s copy. This is Crappy Old Books, after all.

Well aged but strong binding and robust general condition.
