Critics Review
Du Maurier’s descriptions of riding in Norwegian mountains, of life before the mast and in foreign capitals ring as true as her transcription of a young man’s thoughts and talk
No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification … She satisfied all the questionable criteria of popular fiction, and yet satisfied the exacting requirements of “real literature”, something very few novelists ever do
One of the last century’s most original literary talents - Daily TelegraphShe wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality - GuardianAbout The Author
Daphne du Maurier
Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) was born in London, England. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning with whom she had three children.
Many of du Maurier’s bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds and Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now. In 1969, du Maurier was awarded the Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE). She lived most of her life in Cornwall and died there which is the setting for many of her books.
