Description
Daphne Du Maurier and her sisters are revealed in all their surprising complexity in this riveting new biography. The middle sister, Daphne du Maurier, is one of the master storytellers of our time, author of several iconic novels and short stories. Her sisters, Angela and Jeanne, found the courage to defy the conventions that hampered her emotional life. Born into a theatrical family dominated by their charismatic father, the three sisters grew up in a world of social non-conformity, love, rivalry, and compulsive make-believe. This group biography considers them side by side, as they were in life, revealing the hidden world of Piffy, Bird & Bing - full of psychological complexity. Their lives are as fascinating as Daphne du Maurier's novels, offering a unique insight into the family dynamic that shaped their experiences and emotions.
