This book launched Du Maurier's fabled career as a storyteller. Somewat romantic it tells the history of the Coomb family of seafarers and shipbuilders. The matriarch, Janet, is a reckless and wild; her spirit passing to the figurehead of her sons shipthe Janet Coomb, Plym. It is also traced though four generations of progeny. "Loving Spirit" yes; "Lively" definately!
