peg read and liked Diane D.'s review of Rebecca:

The writing was beautiful - I have some favorite passages that I will add to this review. In addition, I thought the plots were very well crafted. I could not have predicted the outcome. I also liked how the first 2 chapters were written in the present and then the story winds back.

I had so many favorite passages, I wanted to add one that was especiallyl meaningful to me (page 99) especially I think because I read it while my father in law was visiting:

"I wanted to go on sitting here, not talking, not listening to the others, keeping the moment precious for all time, because we were peaceful all of us, we were content and drowsy even as the bee who droned above our heads. In a little while, it would be different, there would come to-morrow, and the next day, and another year. And we would be changed perhaps, never sitting quite like this again. Some of us would go away, or suffer, or die, the future stretched away in front of us, unnkown, unseen, not perhaps what we wanted, not what we planned. This moment was safe thougth, this could not be touched."

Characters: Rebecca, Maxim, Mrs. deWinter, Mrs. Danvers, Beatrice and Giles, Frank Crawley, Robert, Firth, Jack Favell, Mrs. Van Hopper, Jasper(less) "
