Description

This 1944 edition of Hungry Hill is an early wartime printing of the seventh novel by British author Daphne du Maurier, originally released by Doubleday, Doran and Co.

This classic historical fiction text spans a century of an Anglo-Irish family’s tumultuous ties to a local copper mine. This is an old-fashioned, slow-paced tale. The fortunes and fates of five generations of an Anglo-Irish family are bound to their copper mine on Hungry Hill. Beginning with the first stubborn patriarch, O’Brien brings each of the many characters vividly to life that gruff patriarch; the forthright first-born son; the petulant, lazy second-born; and so on.
