Her depression and anxiety fed into her last works of fiction, in particular The House on the Strand but for much of her later life she found herself unable to write and died of heart failure in 1989. After her husband’s death in 1965 du Maurier suffered a profound psychological breakdown, compounded by having to leave Menabilly. Although the popularity of her work brought her considerable success, du Maurier was frustrated that her fiction wasn’t given greater critical attention and she felt her works were unfairly side-lined as purely commercial, romantic thrillers. Her unease at their relationship fed into much of her writing, including the novels The Apple Tree, The Breaking Point, My Cousin Rachel and The Scapegoat. Their relationship continued to founder after his return, with Frederick spending much of his time in London as part of the household of Princess Elizabeth and Daphne remaining in Cornwall with their children. The distance between Daphne and her husband caused by the war fed a profound estrangement, which she wrote about in the play, The Years Between.
