Daphne Du Maurier’s ’Don’t Look Now’ is a suspenseful and haunting tale of grief, premonition, and tragedy set against the backdrop of Venice, Italy. The story follows John and Laura, a couple attempting to recover from the recent death of their young daughter, Christine. While dining at a restaurant, they encounter two elderly sisters, one of whom claims to be a psychic. The psychic insists she can see Christine who warns that John is in grave danger if he remains in Venice. As John dismisses the sister’s warning with scepticism, unsettling events begin to unfold and build until the shocking and macabre conclusion.
