Reviews
Wickedly readable . . . Daphne du Maurier has instinct, with the result that every woman instinctively wants to read her
New York Times Book Review
A novel about three step-siblings of complicated parentage, growing up wildly in a crazy Bohemian theatrical family, inspired by du Maurier's own . . . intriguing . . . captivating . . . [The Parasites] is unexpected, and fun, and one of her own favourites
Margaret Drabble
She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality
Guardian
One of the last century's most original literary talents
Daily Telegraph
Quite different - and somehow more personal than Daphne du Maurier's other novels
