I don't know that the novel told her age; after all DuMaurier never even gave her a name, but I would guess about 21 or 22, much younger than her middle-aged husband. The way she is described sounds youthful, no make-up and simple hairstyle. Also, companions ( her job when she met Max) were usually very young.

A page turner full of mystery and with _Jane Eyre_ (a greater book, actually) one of the key gothic novels. The writing is smooth and the increasing terror and suspense very well done. Didn't find it reread quite as well as first time, though.

The book doesn't even gives her a first name !As, the book is written from her prespective,we find out very little about her.
I've always imagined her to be about 23.
One of my favourite books.

It's true her age and name are never revealed. But I also believe she was in her twenties. It is one of my favorite books! If you liked that, you might also enjoy The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Don't know the answer I'm sorry, but I just wanted to say I'm so glad to enjoy this book with someone else.
