' NEW YORK TIMES 'She wrote exciting plots . . . a writer of fearless originality' GUARDIAN 'No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification . . . ' MARGARET FORSTER When Dick Young's friend, Professor Magnus Lane offers him an escape from his troubles in the form of a new drug, Dick finds himself transported to fourteenth-century Cornwall. There, in the manor of Tywardreath, the domain of Sir Henry Champerhoune, he witnesses intrigue, adultery and murder. The more time Dick spends consumed in the past, the more he withdraws from the modern world. With each dose of the drug, his body and mind become addicted to this otherworld and his attempts to change history bring terror to the present and put his own life in jeopardy.

I have been searching for a book by Daphne Du Maurier that equals the greatness of her "Rebecca." I thought a tale of time-travel would certainly pass the test, but "The House on the Strand" was ultimately unsatisfying.
Although it could be profitable as a cautionary tale against recreational drugs, watching the protagonist destroy his marriage while yearning for the dull doings of a 13th-century soap opera is less than enthralling. And the pro-adultery sentiments expressed leave the reader with a bad taste in his figurative mouth.
The ambiguous ending might be considered chic by some, but I'll take a more straightforward approach any day.
