Nina Auerbach at The Daphne Du Maurier Festival

Nina Auerback who is the author of the acclaimed biography “Daphne du Maurier - Haunted Heiress” talked about her book and her view of Daphne du Maurier with Helen Taylor, author of “The Daphne du Maurier Companion”.
Nina described finding more and more books that she’d never heard of by Daphne du Maurier “Was like eating mashed potatoes, so many Daphnes, it was wonderful”.
She described Daphnes work as compelling, haunting, weird, wonderful, great suavity, insightful and insane.
The audience had the opportunity to ask Nina questions and her opinions on the subject of Daphnes work and other work that Nina had achieved.
Daphne du Mauriers eldest daughter Lady Tessa Montgomery, who was in the audience, was introduced to Nina at the end of the discussion.
Lady Tessa found Nina’s discussion very interesting, learning things she had never known.
