And I can’t help but imagine Pasternak, Eve Babitz, and du Maurier in a room together: What would they talk about? What would they laugh about? Would they even like each other? What poems/stories would they share?

Daphné du Maurier fut accusée de plagiat pour son roman Rebecca en 1947. Elle dut révéler qu’elle l’avait écrit en Égypte, nostalgique de sa demeure anglaise. Le personnage de Rebecca s’inspira de la jalousie maladive de l’autrice envers une ex-fiancée de son mari. #DuMaurier #Rebecca

It's taken me a long time to get round to reading Rebecca (I was put off by the misconception it was a girly romance, further reinforced by the book's cover). But I was mistaken - it's a well crafted psychological novel. I really enjoyed the style and plot.

Last winter, I found at a Little Library a dark little #mystery by Daphne #DuMaurier called "The Apple Tree." It's the size of a children's book and you could read it in one sitting. But the nightmare will last much longer.
