5/28/2023 0 Comments My cousin rachel ending bookAmbrose is somewhat shy, and that has made him misogynistic. Philip Ashley is orphaned at a young age and raised by his cousin, Ambrose, in a male-only household. I love her books, and have seen the movies, so I welcomed the chance to compare this latest cinematic version of a classic novel. The narrator asks of Rachel, “Did she or didn’t she?” and both the actress Rachel Weisz, who plays the title role in the film, and the author of the book, Daphne du Maurier, refuse to answer.ĭaphne du Maurier was famous for gothic dramas/romances, her best known probably being Rebecca and The Birds, both made into films by Alfred Hitchcock. In both the book and the film (released last Friday), My Cousin Rachel contains an unreliable narrator, a dark romance of sorts, and an enigmatic and ambiguous heroine who may or may not be poisoning two men.
