Daphne du Maurier

Daphne du Maurier (1907–1989) was a British novelist who mastered the art of atmospheric suspense. Raised in a theatrical family—her father was the actor-manager Gerald du Maurier, her grandfather the author George du Maurier—she found her true home not on the stage but on the wild Cornish coast, whose landscapes infuse her finest work with an almost supernatural power.
