October 2018 Discussion • The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier
The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier is the October selection for the New Leaf Book Club.



Quote:
Like many of du Maurier's novels, The House on the Strand has a supernatural element, exploring the ability to mentally travel back in time and experience historical events at first hand - but not to influence them. It has been called a Gothic tale, influenced by writers as diverse as Robert Louis Stevenson, Dante, and the psychologist Carl Jung, "in which a sinister potion enables the central character to escape the constraints of his dreary married life by travelling back through time."
