Daphne du Maurier stole my life
Mrs Danowski known as Danni is the housekeeper of a grand mansion on the wild coast of Cornwall.
When glamorous young writer Daphne du Maurier visits Manderville Hall to research her new novel, she and Danni are drawn into a clandestine and intoxicating affair.
For Danni, it is an all-consuming love; for Daphne a submission to long-suppressed desires. But their fragile secret is vulnerable to prying eyes and destined for heartbreak. When Daphne s novel launches to triumphant success, Danni is distraught to find herself transformed into a malign and jealous character on the page.
She seeks respite from the hurt by telling her own story: The Housekeeper.
