The Doll

Read in a larger collection, but wanted to mark separately. I thought this was fantastic. Of course I'm reminded of The Dresden Dolls' Coin Operated Boy.
This story is from the jealous would-be lover's perspective via his washed ashore journal, which I thought was a clever format.
Haha, he thinks she had ten or more lovers because she can kiss, sigh.

Overall this is a good collection of DuMaurier's “lost” short stories (most were previously published in magazines but not since). As with so many short story collections it's a bit uneven, but you can't really go wrong with DuMaurier. She really does like unnamed narrators, doesn't she?

My favorites/the most memorable would be The Doll, And Now To God The Father, Tame Cat, The Happy Valley, and The Limpet.
