My Cousin Rachel is a novel by British author Daphne du Maurier, published in 1951. Like the earlier Rebecca, it is a mystery-romance, largely set on a large estate in Cornwall.

"The mystery is centered around Rachel's motives and the suspicions invoked by Ambrose's final communications with Philip. The Romance is Philips growing infatuation with cousin Rachel and the gothic elements are the wild landscape, the suspicious, perhaps malevolent Italian Rainaldi  and the feeling of impending tragedy set in motion by the hanged corpse at the beginning of the novel.

Light green cloth covers with darker green titles to the spine and cover. Tightly bound and a bright, unmarked text. Light penciled inscription on page after endpaper.  Deckled page edges. Overall in beautiful condition
