Synopsis

"Rebecca is a work of immense intelligence and wit, elegantly written, thematically solid, suspenseful.." --Washington Post "Daphne du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings." --Stephen King Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again . . .The novel begins in Monte Carlo, where 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 his massive country estate that she realizes how large a shadow his late wife will cast over their lives--presenting her with a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their marriage from beyond the grave. First published in 1938, this classic gothic novel is such a compelling read that it won the Anthony Award for Best Novel of the Century.

Very good story with vivid characters. The reason I gave it three stars is that the ending is very abrupt and really leaves you hanging.

What an engrossing novel. I could not put this book down. Many nights, I awoke with my face in its pages, realizing that I had been reading up until the moment where I had fallen asleep. Every time I thought I might have figured out the next turns of what seemed like a fairly simple plot, I would read a new plot twist. The turns in the story were shocking, but believable. The characters are layered, flawed, and always compelling, if not always likeable, and du Mauriers writing is gorgeous and vivid, perfectly suited for a story where the setting is such a critical element.
