Born into a famous artistic dynasty, Daphne grew up in an atmosphere of carefree privilege. At a time when girls of her class were not expected to have a career, she defied convention and moved to Cornwall to pursue her ambition to become a writer. There, over six decades, she dreamt up the stories that have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and still haunt our cultural imagination, including Rebecca, Jamaica Inn and ‘The Birds’. ‘Last Night I Dreamt’ explores how the turbulence and contradictions of Daphne’s own life – spanning war, affairs, a marriage to a renowned but damaged general, and unrequited love – inspired her writing.
