Eva Leung is a College Senior Lecturer at HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho Community College. She received her PhD in English from the University of Hong Kong, and her doctoral research is on the novels by Daphne du Maurier, with a particular focus on narratology and the relationship between the Tale and the Reader. Her research interests include the novel, contemporary fiction, popular writing, creative writing, and women's writing. Outside of academia, she is a freelance harpist for a variety of events, including weddings, funerals/memorials, company events, birthday banquets, retirement parties, and other music projects.
Recently, Eva has been working on some reviews of Daphne du Maurier's books, pitching them at non-academics by writing them for people who may not have read her works before and by keeping them short and simple. Eve feels that Daphne du Maurier's works as modern classics should be more popular, and she tries to promote her other brilliant works that can get overshadowed by Rebecca.
Today, we bring you Eva's ninth review, which discusses Daphne du Maurier's novel My Cousin Rachel.
