The Restoration Court knows Lady Dona St Columb to be ripe for any folly, anything to alter the tedium of her days. But there is another Dona who longs for a life of honest love - even if it is spiced with danger. It is this Dona who flees London for remote Navron, finding there a hunted pirate. One of du Maurier's most popular novels, Frenchman's Creek is a tale of adventure, set during the reign of Charles II.
