Аннотация:
Angela, Daphne and Jeanne Du Maurier — three sisters in a family who longed for sons; beautiful, successful, rebellious or mad, the sisters lives were bound in a family drama that inspired Angela and Daphne's best novels. Much has been written about Daphne but here the three sisters hidden lives are revealed in this riveting joint biography. Born in the first decade of the twentieth century, all three girls shared a visceral love for Cornwall. The family was glamorous and successful and the girls were encouraged in ancestor worship. Their parents were leading lights in the acting world — charismatic, philandering and unhappy. Their expectations for their girls, and the wish that they'd been boys, would have a lasting effect on all three girls.
