My House of Secrets
121 years before Daphne du Maurier acquired Menabilly House,
a chamber beneath the mansion was discovered and quickly resealed.
Du Maurier spent her years obsessing over its contents,
haunted by what lay below.
What haunts us?
What dead weight do we carry?
Who will sift through our oeuvre for evidence?
