Drawing on private letters and family documents, Margaret Forster reconstructs the life of Daphne du Maurier after the success of Rebecca: her growing reclusiveness, her relationship with her father, her marriage to a war hero, a wartime love affair, and her passion for Cornwall, showing how her intense and violent stories sprang from her imagination.
