Celebrated novelist Daphne Du Maurier and her sisters, eclipsed by her fame, are revealed in all their surprising complexity in this riveting new biography. The middle sister in a famous artistic dynasty, Daphne du Maurier is one of the master storytellers of our time, author of ‘Rebecca’, ‘Jamaica Inn’ and ‘My Cousin Rachel’, and short stories, ‘Don’t Look Now’ and the terrifying ‘The Birds’ among many. Her stories were made memorable by the iconic films they inspired, three of them classic Hitchcock chillers. But it was her sisters, writer Angela and artist Jeanne,who found the courage to defy the conventions that hampered Daphne’s emotional life. In this group biography they are considered side by side, as they were in life, three sisters who grew up during the 20th century in the glamorous hothouse of a theatrical family dominated by a charismatic and powerful father. This family dynamic reveals the hidden world of the three sisters – Piffy, Bird & Bing, as they were known to each other – full of social non-conformity, love, rivalry and compulsive make-believe, their lives as psychologically complex as a Daphne du Maurier novel.
Jane Leeves—who starred as Frasier’s beloved and eccentric Daphne Moon—tells her unique and intimate story of coming into her own on one of the most successful sitcoms ever made. Over the course of more than a decade, Jane Leeves, a former ballerina from humble beginnings in England, saw her life turn on its head as she made a family on and off the set of Frasier—a show that would make her career. As the character Daphne Moon—a live-in physical therapist hired to take care of Frasier Crane’s father—she acted as a perfect, down-to-earth foil to pompous Frasier and his equally pretentious brother, Niles. As Daphne and Niles were falling head-over-heels for each other in one of television’s great romances, Jane was finding her own true love on the Paramount lot and eventually, having children—one of whom calls David Hyde Pierce “godfather.” Eleven seasons and a record-breaking thirty-seven Emmys later, Leeves and the cast and crew of Frasier made television history in making one of the most beloved and influential sitcoms of all time. Now in Daphne Moon Remembers she recounts the most monumental years of her life, sharing the hilarious and moving stories she’s collected over the years, and revisiting remarkable moments behind the scenes of the iconic show we all know and love.
The definitive biography of Daphne Du Maurier, one of history's greatest psychological thriller novelistsRebecca, published in 1938, brought its author instant international acclaim, capturing the popular imagination with its haunting atmosphere of suspense and mystery.
Daphne du Maurier: Writing, Identity and the Gothic Imagination is the first full-length evaluation of du Maurier's fiction and the first critical study of du Maurier as a Gothic writer. Horner and Zlosnik argue that the fears at the heart of du Maurier's Gothic fictions reflect both personal and broader cultural anxieties concerning sexual and social identity. Using the most recent work in Gothic and gender studies they enter the current debate on the nature of Female Gothic and raise questions about du Maurier's relationship to such a tradition.

Auerbach examines the writer of depth and recklessness now largely known only as the author of Rebecca, looking at the way her sharp-edged fiction, with its brutal and often perverse family relationships, has been softened in film adaptations of her work. She reads both du Maurier's life in her writings, and the sensibility of a vanished class and time that haunts the fringes of our own age.
