The Guardian also announces a forthcoming reading group webchat featuring Justine Picardie on Daphne du Maurier. Her book, Daphne, is mentioned:

Daphne is a novel that describes Du Maurier's real-life problems relating to her husband Tommy Browning's drinking, womanising and consequent mental collapses, and also her struggle to produce a biography that would forever change the popular conception of the luckless Branwell Brontë. (Sam Jordison)

Questions can be submitted now although the actual webchat will take place on October 24th, 1-2 pm (GMT).
