Resumen del Editor

Bored and restless in London's Restoration Court, Lady Dona escapes into the British countryside with her restlessness and thirst for adventure as her only guides.

Eventually Dona lands in remote Navron, looking for peace of mind in its solitary woods and hidden creeks. She finds the passion her spirit craves in the love of a daring French pirate who is being hunted by all of Cornwall.

Together, they embark upon a quest rife with danger and glory, one which bestows upon Dona the ultimate choice: sacrifice her lover to certain death or risk her own life to save him.

Editor's Pick

My guilty pleasure turns out to be quality fiction—score!
"I confess: I used to sneak Daphne du Maurier novels into science class. Frenchman’s Creek remains the best education I ever had in Chemistry! Dona St. Columb, a bored patrician wife and mother, fed up with the emptiness of London society, retreats to her Cornish estate to find…pirates in the Creek. And their captain? The poetic, handsome French loner matches Dona’s world-weariness, and together…no, I won’t spoil it. Just download the amazing audiobook, and, trust me, it will fill up the time until Poldark’s next season comes to TV."
Christina H., Audible Editor

Good beach read

A great beach read. Piracy, love, and humor abound in this period piece. I love the eccentricities of the characters. The narrator does a wonderful job in depicting the superciliousness of the upper class.

Good Book, Confusingly Inaccurate Chapter Settings

Attention Audible--the first "Chapter" is multiple plus 1/3 chapters, bifurcating a single chapter that begins with over 8 minutes left in "Chapter 1" and ends over 16 minutes into "Chapter 2"...huh?! Why?! These completely random chapter settings made it virtually impossible to know when I could start and stop it. Very good story, excellent narration, but unless you're listening to it in one sitting, beware the horribly inaccurate chapter divisions!

Don't get bogged down in the first chapter

This is a good, old-fashioned romance. It was perfect for listening during my yard chores. All-in-all, a delightful romp AFTER the onerous first chapter.

Questionable character but excellent narration

A classic of Restoration Cornwall, pirates, and romance. Supposedly set during the reign of Charles II (second half of the seventeenth century), it was first published in 1941. The heroine, Dona, definitely has ideas about responsibility and faithfulness that made me question her character. I didn't actually like her, to tell the truth. And I also questioned why the narration was done by a man, although Castle did it splendidly. However, the story was interesting and I wanted to know how it ended. Fortunately, du Maurier didn't disappoint. A great classic by a great artist.

Romance and Adventure

Well read and well written. None of the graphic sex scenes or violence that you mostly find in today’s books. Enjoyed immensely

outstanding performance. Clear, perfect

Voice inflection and accents, genders, local dialects are perfect. It was
like watching a movie in my head. Best reading I have heard.

Great Narrator and Great Story

I very much enjoyed this audiobook. I wasn't expecting it to be so good but it was! It's a great adventure / love story about a French pirate and a Lady of London. It held my attention, moved at a nice pace and I thought the narrator did a great job with the different characters!
