Manderley Forever: The Life of Daphne du Maurier
£18.99
As a bilingual bestselling novelist with a mixed Franco-British bloodline and a host of eminent forebears, Tatiana de Rosnay is the perfect candidate to write a biography of Daphne du Maurier. As an eleven-year-old de Rosnay read and reread Rebecca, becoming a lifelong devotee of Du Maurier’s fiction. Now de Rosnay pays homage to the writer who influenced her so deeply, following Du Maurier from a shy 7-year-old, a rebellious 16-year-old, a 20-something newlywed, and finally a cantankerous old lady.
