Castle Dor: Maurier Du

Both a spellbinding love story and a superb evocation of Cornwall`s mythic past, Castle Dor is a book with unique and fascinating origins.
It began life as the unfinished last novel of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, the celebrated `Q`, and was passed by his daughter to Daphne du Maurier whose storytelling skills were perfectly suited to the task of completing the old master`s tale.

The result is this magical, compelling recreation of the legend of Tristan and Iseult, transplanted in time to nineteenth-century Cornwall.

A chance encounter between a Breton onion-seller, Amyot Trestane, and the newly-wed Linnet Lewarne launches their tragic story, taking them in the fateful footsteps of the doomed lovers of Cornish legend . . .
