Produktbeschreibung
An intimate, revelatory family biography of the iconic bestseller Daphne du Maurier, by her eldest surviving grandson. The life and works of Daphne du Maurier, one of the greatest storytellers of the last century - continue to beguile and fascinate readers across the world. Her blockbuster Rebecca has never been out of print since it was published and she has sold well over 35m books worldwide. A fascinating, intimate, revelatory family memoir, Look Now: A Personal History of the du Mauriers will focus primarily on Daphne but also on her actor/manager father Gerald and caricaturist/novelist grandfather George, the greatest influences on her life and work, as well as a few key figures further back, including Mary Anne Clarke, Daphne's great great grandmother, mistress to The Duke of York. Paul de Zulueta, Daphne's eldest surviving grandchild, has access to private papers and letters sent to Daphne as well as the archives at Exeter University. In addition, he has found many unpublished family photographs and will be interviewing other family members and those influenced by Daphne's work. In doing so, he offers an extraordinary look into the world of Daphne du Maurier as it's never been seen before.
