I have read a couple of bios of her, and she was a difficult person--plenty of warts there--I'm not really inspired to read more about her, and if I did, I don't think this would be the bio for me. I tend not to care about learning every detail of someone's life but more prefer to get a slice or portrait that puts their work into perspective.<br />JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-70744037377666194682020-07-03T01:04:34.225-05:002020-07-03T01:04:34.225-05:00Thank you for the honest review.

I am a du Maurier fan myself.Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-56640694345398149942020-07-02T12:53:09.791-05:002020-07-02T12:53:09.791-05:00I'll have to check this one out.

It was unlike anything I'd ever read before and it still holds a special place in my heart. It's one I've reread a couple of times too. But like you I've never read anything else of hers. I'd be interested in her family life. Yes they are warts but would she get that same criticism if she were a man and how he left the children or didn't want to live with his spouse? I'm definitely interested in reading more about her now!Heather G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18051840056392247706noreply@blogger.com
