My cousin rachel ending book6/1/2023 ![]() ![]() Central to My Cousin Rachel is the relationship of the young Englishman Philip and Rachel, the widow of Philip’s cousin. The novel continues to be celebrated in Cornwall where there is a five mile stretch in the Barton area called the My Cousin Rachel Walk. Rachel Carew married Ambrose Manaton of Kilworthy in 1690. The author was inspired by a seventeenth century portrait of Rachel Carew she saw at Anthony House in Cornwall. My Cousin Rachel is set in the nineteenth century and,not for the first time in the du Maurier canon, has Menabilly as its main location. The building up of suspense and the gothic atmosphere are comparable to Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. In the spirit of her classic Rebecca, it is a romantic mystery that takes place largely on an estate in Cornwall. British author Daphne du Maurier published her tenth novel, My Cousin Rachel, in 1951. ![]()
