Description
Daphne du Maurier's Hungry Hill is a tale of enduring feud and family rivalry. When Cooper John Brodrick builds his mine at Hungry Hill, he unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that will simmer for generations to come. The Brodricks' wealth and success are built on the power of Hungry Hill, but this comes at a cost. The original owners of Clonmere Castle, the Donovans, resent their former neighbors' good fortune and consider the great house and its land theirs by rights. For years, tensions between the families threaten to boil over into violence. As the story unfolds, du Maurier masterfully weaves together themes of greed, power, and family loyalty, creating a rich and complex narrative that explores the darker aspects of human nature.
