Justine Picardie is clearly extremely knowledgeable not only about the works of
Daphne du Maurier but also the lady herself as a person.
Her speech and subsequent discussion with members of the audience (which included several members of Daphne's family with whom Justine is clearly well aquainted) delved deeply into the views and insights that Daphne may have held regarding Branwell Bronte and the possibility that she may well have considered the parallels between their lives.
Justine is a writer and can therefore be excused her lack of comfort at being on stage which was somewhat evident.
For those who have or are studying the great Daphne du Maurier to a level which includes attempting to understand the psychology of the author to a considerable depth then this presentation would have been fascinating and no doubt beneficial but was perhaps a little too deep for most others.
