The novelized history of her family Daphne Dumaurier published in 1937, at the age of thirty. The writer was on the threshold of fame: the novel "The Jamaica Inn" had already been published, and in just one year "Rebecca", her major world bestseller, would be published. Immersing herself in the atmosphere of nineteenth-century Europe, the writer recreates the lives of her Anglo-French ancestors, from her great-great-grandmother, mistress of the Duke of York, to her grandfather, the famous novelist and artist George Dumaurier. "The story is full of tumultuous events and formidable blows of fate - here a missing husband, there a scandal and a court case - but they are all presented in the form of romantic comedy and incredibly entertaining," as the preface to the English edition says. Daphne Dumorieux always with a passion to explore the characters and fates of people, the mysterious threads by which the present is connected to the past, invariably finding "ghosts everywhere - not pale phantoms, rattling chains through eternity ... creaking floorboards in empty houses, but cheerful shadows of the past ...".
