The multi-million-copy bestseller that has enthralled generations of readers. A haunting tale of obsessive love. A mesmerizing psychological thriller.
In Monte Carlo, our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at Manderley, her husband's cavernous estate on the Cornish coast, that she realizes how vast a shadow his late wife, Rebecca, will cast over their lives--introducing a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their love from beyond the grave.This universally acclaimed novel has remained consistently in print since its original publication in 1938 and has frequently been adapted--for television, radio, the theater, and film--most notably in 1940 by Alfred Hitchcock, whose Rebecca received the Academy Award for Best Picture, and in the 2020 Netflix film starring Lily James and Armie Hammer.
"Excellent entertainment...Du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings." --Stephen King "One of the most influential novels of the twentieth century, Rebecca has woven its way into the fabric of our culture with all the troubling power of myth or dream." --Sarah Waters

This just happens to be one of my favorite classic novels. It's well written and an easy read. Rather like Jane Eyre, but still a great English novel. I give it a big thumbs up!
THE Reading List, drew me to this book. It was described as a haunting mystery. The characters living rent free in heads.I found it much different than I expected. Two characters have a mean streak. Horrible things are done by the said two. One character you get to watch grow and bloom. The husband, Mr de Winters is wrote like a blank man, hollow, when emotions do come out it is lust, or anger. It is not an underdog story, ending is a cliffhanger.
Came in near perfect condition besides a bit of denting in the top left corner. Great book!
On the Kindle version, occasionally carriage returns would be inserted into the middle of sentences, thereby making it look like a new paragraph and a little confusing to read. See attached picture.
I’m excited to start reading this book. I love this author and I’ve heard nothing but good things about this book.
