Post by: Nearly Sane on February 24, 2018, 11:07:35 AM

Interesting article on Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca - in many ways almost a ckassispc piece of noir

Very interesting, I knew little about Daphne du Maurier apart from what she'd written.  Well I never, you live and learn.

Margaret Forster wrote a biography of Daphne du Maurier and, having read several of MF's books recently, I intend to read this one. I hope it's in braille.

I love the late Margaret Forster's books & may well look that one out, Susan.

I can't see a braille version but it is on audio cassette:-
