I have just gotten an Advanced Review Copy of a fictional book called Daphne by Justine Picardie and have found it hard to put it down -
"Drawing on Justine Picardie's extensive research into Daphne du Mauriere's obsession with the Brontes and he scandal that has haunted the Bronte estate, Daphne is a marvelous story of literary fascination and possession."
Really give you a behind-the-scenes peek into the life of du Maurier and Menabilly.
Book released in August 2008 so should be easy to find. Publisher is Bloomsbury

Nancy Jo - wasn't the movie just something you had to watch! I loved it, but poor Daphne never really seemed happy- her little writing hut reminded me of my cabin on the hill, only my cabin is much more interesting. You have reminded me, I want to scope out ebay for that movie to add to my collection. I already own the old movie Rebecca with Laurence Olivier-
I love picking up the book Rebecca and just turning to just about any page - so beautifully written, so lyrical.

I'll have to look for that. I've always been intrigued by the Brontes myself.

Thanks for the tip! I noticed the Bronte obsession when I read 'The Loving Spirit' (first book by Du Maurier I picked up). I didn't realize there was more to it than that.

Sounds Interesting. I just saw a movie about her on TV. I was very surprised about her life.
