Description
Daphne Du Maurier: A Life of Secrets and Passion Daphne Du Maurier's life was a complex web of relationships, passions, and secrets. This biography, written by Margaret Forster, sheds light on the private life of one of the most iconic thriller writers of all time. Drawing on private letters and papers, Forster explores Du Maurier's relationships with her father, her husband, and her lovers, as well as her deep friendships with Gertrude Lawrence and an aristocratic American woman. Through a meticulous and unflinching examination of Du Maurier's life, Forster reveals the tensions and contradictions that lay beneath her charming and relaxed facade. This is a story of a woman who was both a product of her time and a rebel against it, whose passionate and often violent stories mirrored her own fantasy life. This biography offers a fresh and nuanced understanding of one of literature's most fascinating figures, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the life and work of Daphne Du Maurier.
