В сборник "Рандеву" английской писательницы Дафны Дюморье (1907–1989) вошли рассказы, написанные в конце 1920-х – начале 1930-х годов и в десятилетие между 1937 и 1947 годом. Как и вся новеллистика Дюморье, эти четырнадцать историй поражают разнообразием сюжетов и жанров. Выдержанный в готической традиции "Эскорт" соседствует с театральными, в духе Чехова, "Примой" и "Прирожденным артистом"; психологический этюд "За закрытой дверью" – с поучительным анекдотом "Оплошность"; своеобразно обыгрывающие форму сказки или притчи "Пресвятая Дева".

Имя Дафны Дюморье (1907–1989) мир узнал в 1938 году, после выхода в свет романа "Ребекка", седьмой по счету книги молодой английской писательницы. Всего же за долгую творческую жизнь она выпустила полтора десятка романов, несколько сборников рассказов (новелл, повестей – в разное время Дюморье по-разному именовала произведения своей малой прозы), а также три пьесы, биографии и книгу о Корнуолле. Сборник рассказов Дафны Дюморье, в 1977 году озаглавленный по знаменитой новелле "Птицы", впервые был опубликован в 1952 году под названием "Яблоня", а в 1953-м – "Поцелуй меня еще раз, незнакомец".

Moving in with the Kings of Aventine was supposed to be simple: get close enough to find out what happened to my sister and get the hell out. Yeah, that's not what happened. Like, at all.

Still, there are advantages to having the Kings on my side, especially since I'm now the proud owner of a rage-filled stalker.
