At a time when girls of her class were not expected to have a career, she defied convention and moved to Cornwall to pursue her ambition to become a writer. There, over six decades, she dreamt up the stories that have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and still haunt our cultural imagination, including \u003cem\u003eRebecca, Jamaica Inn\u003c\/em\u003e and 'The Birds'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLast Night I Dreamt\u003c\/em\u003e explores how the turbulence and contradictions of Daphne's own life—spanning war, affairs, a marriage to a renowned but damaged general, and unrequited love—inspired her writing. It also uncovers the powerful influence of her notable forebears, in particular her domineering father Gerald, the most famous actor-manager of his generation; her grandfather George, a renowned Victorian novelist and cartoonist; and the mistress to the Duke of York, Mary Anne Clarke, another woman who refused to obey the rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaul de Zulueta, Daphne's grandson, has drawn on private family archives, new interviews and his own memories of his grandmother, a woman who was central to his early life. In doing so, he gives us an extraordinary look into the world of Daphne du Maurier with rare closeness and emotional candour, and a moving portrait of one of the great British artistic families of the 19th and 20th centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47734377119980,"sku":"9780349020457","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780349020457-last-night-i-dreamt.jpg?v=1781219560"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/paul-de-zulueta.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
