In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning with whom she had three children.Many of du Mauriers bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds and Nicolas Roegs Dont Look Now. In 1969, du Maurier was awarded the Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE). She lived most of her life in Cornwall and died there which is the setting for many of her books. Review Her masterpiece . . . Seldom has a dead woman exercised such power beyond the grave.
