The soporific biography of Daphne du Maurier ...

Manderley for ever (Paperback)

Customer Review

The author Tatiana de Rosnay told us all her passion in this forgotten author Daphne du Maurier.

And yet, I think I never read a boring biography ...
(As boring as obsolete books Daphne du Maurier)

The work is obviously well documented.
But the narration is dry, soulless. It leaves no room for romance. It does not make us dream. It is a nuisance to die.

Daphne du Maurier appears on the pictures like a sullen child. Not only, she never smile, but "pulls a face not possible!"
Yet throughout this laborious biography Tatiana de Rosnay assures us that it is "an irresistible comic" ... Really?!

She is thin to be scary (at the end of her life, she weighed 38 kgs) but Tatiana de Rosnay delights to tell us that "Daphne was a gourmet of life" ...

Her sisters are homosexual and, bisexual.
Will he have an explanation? Tatiana de Rosnay is silent on the subject.
It is nevertheless significant that three girls from the same family have a marginal sexuality.

In short, you guessed it: I did not like this book.

I do not really advise.
