Overview
With these words, the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone mansion on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events that transpired as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she barely knew. For in every corner of every room were phantoms of a time dead but not forgotten a past devotedly preserved by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers: a suite immaculate and untouched, clothing laid out and ready to be worn, but not by any of the great house's current occupants.3 women, 8 men

Page turner!
Tonya P. - 6 years 4 months agoIf you've only seen the movie, you only know the story. You've missed that Dame du Maurier was a fantastic writer. It is a bit gothic, and certainly a product of its time, but an all-around really great book.

Transporting and Captivating Must Read
Mary Ann W. - 6 years 4 months agoThis book was fantastic! It combined beautiful writing, a magical setting, and a captivating plot and I couldn't put it down! It is described as "romantic suspense" and neither of those genres typically interest me, but I had heard so much about Rebecca, so I had to give it a try. I'm so glad I did, I will be thinking about this book for a long time! #SummerReading

A very worthwhile read
Jacquie R. - 6 years 4 months agoRebecca by Daphne du Maurier #SummerReading I decided to read the novel Rebecca because two really good old films were based on the book. I know the movie director the first film had a really hard time convincing the studio to spend extra money on the film and a lot of what the director want was cut out. So I decided to read the book. It is worth the read. The author immediately grabs you in puts you in the time and place and attitudes of the days that it was written. I had always thought that because the original movie was so dark, moody and for boding that it was an old piece from the 1800s, but it is not. It was written in about 1937 with modern day (at the time) sensibilities. The author has a way of writing that is just not seen today. She truly understands the nature of a young girl trying to understand her place in life and accepting her circumstance. It can be painful to read how precisely du Maurier hits the target of young angst, so much so you can feel/hear the finger nails on the chalkboard of your youth. The movie starts with her already arriving at the house. But the book has many chapters before that bout where and what she was doing before she met the infamous Maximilian de Winter. #SummerReading
