Daphne in the Oxford Literary Festival

An alert for today, April 3. Justine Picardie, author of Daphne, will give a talk at The Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival:

JUSTINE PICARDIE
Daphne
Thursday 3rd April, 8.00 pm
Festival Room 2, Christ Church
£7.50

Picardie, a writer with a well-documented interest in the afterlife, has long been fascinated by Daphne du Maurier and the Bronte family. In this, her latest novel, she brings her obsessions together: dovetailing the tragic story of Branwell Bronte with the haunting of Daphne by her greatest creation, Rebecca. She talks of the timeless appeal of stories which never let their reader go.
