Search - Daphne Du Maurier

This is a well researched and well written story about a complicated, fascinating woman. Starting with her childhood and ending with her passing, and using Du Maurier's own correspondence as well as others' writings and recollections, it nicely brings together both the personal and professional aspects of her life. It really brings out how Du Maurier was a product of her time and place. Struggling her entire life with her sexual identity, she no doubt would have been a different person had she been born in a more recent--and broadminded--time. But then would we have been treated to such rich reads had that been so?
