Both her novels and her non-fiction reveal Daphne du Maurier's
overwhelming desire to explore her family's history. In Myself When
Young, based on diaries that she kept from 1920-1932, the most
famous du Maurier probes her own past, beginning with her earliest
memories and encompassing the publication of her first book and her
subsequent marriage. Here, the writer is open and sometimes
painfully honest about the difficult relationship with her father;
her education in Paris; early love affairs; her antipathy towards
London life and the theatre; her intense love for Cornwall and her
desperate ambition to succeed as a writer. The resulting portrait
is of a captivating and complex character.
