Rebecca

Title: Rebecca
Author: Daphne du Maurier
Pages: 416

NON-SPOILER INFO:
The ghost of the first Mrs. de Winter, the ghost of Rebecca, haunts her husband Max’s new marriage, his home, and his servants like Mrs. Danvers.

MY THOUGHTS:
Many years ago, I saw the Hitchcock film version of this story, so I sort of remembered a lot of the story going into the book. As a result this book started very slowly for me and I nearly gave it up. But I stuck with it and 100 pages in met the mysterious Jack Favell. And this for me was the real start of the book. Once the mystery set in, I couldn’t stop reading. I couldn’t wait to find out the truth about Favell, Mrs. Danvers, and Rebecca. And the conclusion didn’t disappoint. It was shocking and yet it brought all the little clues from the story together to make a complete account of the infamous Rebecca.

MY VERDICT:
4 out of 5 stars. I want to find the movie and own it now!
