    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF REBECCA

    'Wickedly readable . . . every woman instinctively wants to read her' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

    'A tale of dramatic longings . . . unexpected and fun' MARGARET DRABBLE

    ***

    It was Charles who called us the parasites . . .

    No one would choose the Delaneys as their ideal guests. Vain Maria, capricious Niall and self-sacrificing Celia have grown up in the shadow of their famous parents, ferried around Europe from one performance to the next. But beneath the glittering surface of their own artistic careers, old loyalties, rivalries and secrets still bind the half-siblings together - at the expense of all outsiders.

    A razor-sharp portrait of a family - and the world of the theatre - The Parasites weaves together humour, poignancy and darkness in one of du Maurier's most personal novels.

    'One of the last century's most original literary talents' DAILY TELEGRAPH

    ' Somehow more personal than Daphne du Maurier's other novels' KIRKUS REVIEWS
