About this audiobook
BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF REBECCA
Janet Coombe longs for adventure and the freedom of the sea. She feels herself pulled fast under its spell, but in her heart she knows she must sacrifice her dreams; she is a woman, and her place is in the home. So she married Thomas, a boat-builder, and her restless spirit is passed down through her son, and on to his descendants.
In her acclaimed debut, Daphne du Maurier weaves a compelling tale of heartbreak, courage and love. The Loving Spirit, an inimitable blend of romance, history and adventure, established her reputation as one of the finest writers of her generation.
