Jamaica Inn has a promising beginning (orphan girl, isolated inn, sinister "uncle") and an ambitious ending, but very little middle. Mary Yellan, who is portrayed as an intelligent, active young woman, hangs around doing almost nothing until it is time for the shipwreck. Worth reading, but an author of du Maurier's stature should not leave you thinking "is that all there is?"
