The book this week is Frenchman’s Creek by Daphne Du Maurier. It’s a little more of a romance than I usually go for but I've liked the Du Maurier that I’ve read before and though this is not on a par with Rebecca I still like it.
The sentence:
“Why do you ride horses that are too spirited?” he answered.
“Because of the danger, because of the speed, because I might fall,” she said.

I hate to admit I've never read Du Maurier. I've meant to, but there are just too many books!
I like the quote, both the content, and that you can hear a voice even in that little bit.
Ah, I remember loving this book. I read it a very long time ago, along with several other books by Du Maurier.

I like this quote - very telling of the character.
