Picked up this unregistered book at the BC meet at Coventry Transport Museum yesterday.

Now my mum has read this I'll be taking it to the BC meet in Salcey Forest on Saturday 5 June.

Picked up at the Salcey meet today. Many thanks for bringing it along, Bob!

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed 'Rebecca', I had high hopes for this book, especially as I'd read reviews where people rated it HIGHER than 'Rebecca'! I *did* enjoy it, just not as much. For me, 'Rebecca' takes a lot of beating, and this book couldn't do it for me, mainly because I found the courtroom stuff too much, and it became boring for me. I *loved* the descriptions of Mary Anne's life, both her early days, when she was penniless, and later on, when she had a much more privileged lifestyle. Mary Anne could certainly spend money, and it put me in mind of a shopaholic, circa 1800! I also loved the history, both of London back in the day, and also the Royal family. I'd recommend anyone who's a bit rusty on the Royalty history side of things to Google Duke of York and Albany and Mary Anne Clarke: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Frederick,_Duke_of_York_and_Albany
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Anne_Clarke. Overall, it is a very interesting read, and mostly enjoyable, I just found the courtroom drama went on too much and I lost a bit of interest. I'm looking forward to reading more by Daphne Du Maurier :-)

This is a Birthday RABCK for Martha. As she enjoyed Rebecca so much I thought she'd like to give this one a try. I really liked it, althought the court room stuff did get a bit much after a while. That's my only complaint! Hope you enjoy it :-)

Cheers Becky, look forward to reading this one soon. x

Mary Anne was spotted at the Camel & Artichoke on Jan 12th 2013.
I never knew Rebecca had a "little sister".

Mary Anne never left the building. Hope she is over 18.

Rollicking. Definitely rollicking. Sex and scandal in high life. This was a rattling good yarn with an enticingly flawed protagonist. I felt that it ran headlong into a brick wall, however; the end came a little too abruptly.
