Loved by Millions, Known by No One — The Hidden Truth of Daphne du Maurier

Daphne du Maurier was one of the most beloved storytellers of the twentieth century. With "Rebecca" and "The Birds" she captured the hearts of millions of readers around the world, and they imagined her as a contented author living a quiet life in a great house above the Cornish sea. But behind that glamorous image lay another self she could show to almost no one. Told from childhood that she had been born the wrong thing, the young girl learned to hide before she learned almost anything else. What was the secret she guarded so fiercely all her life? And how did that secret become some of the most immortal stories ever written? Follow the dazzling fame, the deep loneliness beneath it, and the truth that emerged only after her death — a life lived in disguise, scattered at last into the wind above the cliffs she loved.
