"Absolute epic about five generations of the Broderick family who own the copper mine on Hungry Hill. Yet another du Maurier novel - wonderfully written and full of engrossing characters - that I could hardly bear to put down, even though I kept waiting for the next depressing thing to happen!"

    " This novel tells of the legacy of a family and their effect upon a country based on the feud of another family. It displays the joys and sorrows of the Brodicks. It is an awesome read. "

    " This is a multigenerational saga that I just could not enjoy. The characters were all so depressed and troubled. The story was well constructed, but it just wasn't the least bit enjoyable. "

    " Four generations of Irish mine owners are examined, none as strong in purpose as the original generation. This book is full of memorable characters and interesting historical information. "

    " hmm, i didn't enjoy this one as much as 'house on the strand' for example. du maurier was very pleased with it apparently; perhaps because of the multiple main characters, following a family five generations, 'epic', etc. maybe it's my age; maybe i should of read it 20 years ago... "

    " I was very dispaointed with Hungry Hill. The other Du Maurier books that I've read, I've adored but apart from a few chapters where I was interested, most of Hungry Hill bored me. "

    " Hungry Hill is an Irish family saga written about a specific copper mine. It isn't as lengthy as most family sagas, and it is definitely not a flattering account of the Irish. The description and detail is classic du Maurier, and therefore makes it worth reading. "

    " Not that great. I was disappointed. Certainly not Rebecca-quality. I gave up on reading it after the third generation, and looked up a summary online to see how it ended, because it was too tedious to finish. Life is too short to read bad books. Val "
