It'll be interesting to see what you think but I hope you enjoy them.<br /><br />Katrina - I'm glad you enoyed them, I almost didnt read them and was going to concentrate on her novels instead.

I did not know that she had written short stories as well, and since you liked them despite not being much of a short story reader, I am anxious to give them a try...TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694427406934260419.post-28197541916631820422010-10-19T21:50:40.148+01:002010-10-19T21:50:40.148+01:00Chrisbookarama - I think she shines here also, it ...Chrisbookarama - I think she shines here also, it apparent to me that her short stories were written to be short stories and they are highly entertaining.<br /><br />C.B. James - ah yes I should have mentioned that all lovers of short stories would love these also :) I think its because I wasn't expecting to enjoy them as much as I did.<br /><br />Becky - I would urge you to give them ago (they are only short after all ;)<br /><br />Zara - or start with Rebecca, go on you know you want to.<br /><br />anothercookiecrumbles - I have the exact same dislike for short stories as you LOL I am venturing out though and reading more of them, I'm sure its because I've just had bad luck with them in the past.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861424110678889637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694427406934260419.post-36310592559736442242010-10-19T21:31:25.610+01:002010-10-19T21:31:25.610+01:00I've read two novels by Du Maurier (needless t...I've read two novels by Du Maurier (needless to say, I loved both), but not her short stories.
