The house is located on the River Fowey, near Bodinnick. [across the river from Fowey]. They stayed at the Hotel [We late lunch there]. Daphne du Maurier's son, Kits, lived in the house. . WE took a ride in a fishing boat that was powered by a COAL STOVE down the River Fowey. The book shop in Foye [pronounced FOY] had just about all the book written by Ms. du Maurier and biographies written by others. I was able to check out books in the Saint Coloumb Major, Library. The Biography written by Daphane du Maurier's youngest daughter, Flavia, was very interesting, she wrote that her mother was moody. It is well known that Daphne had a fixation about her son, Kit. Flavia lived west south of Fowey in the village of MOUSEHOLE which is located up on a clift. In the UK many words are not pronounced as they are written, the Village is pronounced MOUSEL.. Like most talented people, Daphne du Maurier was a complex person. Her father was very much in Love with his daughters, especially, Daphne, Daphne was suppose to be the prettier sister; however, I think all the girls were quite pretty. In reading the biographies of Ms. du Maurier, one does not get to read about Her sister's lives. DAPHNE DU MAURIER and HER SISTERS explains why, the sisters were so complicated, One of the reasons they were complicated was their strict parents and their father's obsessions with his daughters. If you enjoy reading about lives of famous people and authors, this book is for you. Review: Not a page turner but educational….. - This is a 4 star book if you consider the writing style and the thoroughness of the author's research about the DuMaurier sisters. They led rather risqué lives for their time. This was an interesting book, but not a page turner. It basically explored the 3 sister's relationship with their father and his influence on their lives, their resultant, and many, love affairs with both men and women, and their relationship with each other. I am glad that I read this book because of its insight into their lives but I thought it would never end. It just seemed to be a tumbling of affairs, one after another but that is apparently how they lived. I did not know anything about them other than Daphne's novels before I did read this and certainly did not know about the "other sister" Angela nor the painter, Jeanne. . . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,529,169 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8,889 in Author Biographies #14,209 in Literary Criticism & Theory #18,514 in Women's Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (99) | | Dimensions | 1.3 x 5 x 7.7 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 000734709X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0007347094 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 448 pages | | Publication date | September 23, 2014 | | Publisher | William Collins | ## Images ![Daphne du Maurier and her Sisters - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GqNHrXEZL.jpg) ![Daphne du Maurier and her Sisters - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51pJJdYR3eL.jpg) ![Daphne du Maurier and her Sisters - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41xU62wGWrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UNDERSTANDING DAPHNE DU MAURIER AND HER SISTERS IS A VERY GOOD BOOK *by S***D on November 28, 2015* While living in Cornwall, England, I visited Daphne du Maurier' s called the Swiss Cottage, because it looked like a Swiss chalet.

She certainly isn't as I'd imagined, while her sisters were two other artists I had not even known existed, even though they had talent and drive and determination of their own. A very interesting study of three sisters brought up in a pampered atmosphere who then go through two world wars, the deaths of many of their loved ones and the struggle to find happiness and success and follow their hearts in a changing world, much of which had baggage from that now not-so-pampered-looking start.
