As a bold and gifted child, Branwell Bronte's promise seemed
boundless to the three adoring sisters over whom his rule was
complete. But as an adult, the precocious flame of genius flickered

Emily. Daphne du Maurier concentrates all her biographer's skill on
the shadowy figure of Branwell Bronte, and no reader could fail to

acclaimed novels, short stories, and plays, including "Rebecca" and
"The House on the Strand. "She was also a passionate and skillful
biographer.
