In October, we brought you news of the first Daphne du Maurier International Conference, which took place in Le Mans, France, in 2019 and the associated journal, which has now been published. We are delighted to be able to tell you that as a result of those recent articles, Eva Leung, one of the du Maurier experts to present a paper at the Le Mans Conference, contacted us and has agreed that we may publish her paper here at the Daphne du Maurier website.
The paper that Eva presented is called The Beginning of the End: the Prologue and Epilogues of Hungry Hill and The Glass-Blowers. It provides us with an excellent insight into the two novels that Daphne du Maurier wrote, based on her own ancestors, with a broader look at how brilliantly Daphne opens and closes her work.
