“The best book ever written by Miss Du Maurier” - with these words the press greeted the new novel by the famous English writer Daphne Du Maurier “Mary Anne”. Its pages present the story of an extraordinary and contradictory woman, who managed to rise almost from the very bottom of society to its heights, only to then be overthrown from there again... Mary Anne - a famous courtesan, mistress of the king's brother, the Duke of York, really existed and was the great-grandmother of D. Du Maurier herself .

According to picky critics, Mary Ann eclipsed the famous Scarlett O'Hara, and the novel was not inferior to the sensational "Rebecca", which brought the writer world fame and is already known to our readers.
