Review of 'Rebecca' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

"I dreamt I went to Manderley again."

Rebecca tells the story of woman who marries and becomes the next Mrs de Winter. This woman has to live in the shadows of the first Mrs de Winter; the late Rebecca. As the story twists and turns you sinister story of Rebecca and the home of Manderley begins to unfold. The evil Mrs. Danvers always lurking about, making Mrs de Winter’s life hell and constantly reminder her how great Rebecca was. Rebecca is a wonderful story, full of mystery and gothic themes. I highly recommend it.

I’m interested now to see how Hitchcock handled this story when he adapted it into a film.
