This took me a long time to get through! Worth reading the one with the afterword by Sally Beauman. She raised so many interesting views of the novel that I would love to read it again in a few years time.

This is a great story to read curled up by the fireplace or under a beach umbrella. Suspenseful and thrilling with twists and somber characters...Mrs Danvers is creepy and loathsome.

This novel has been a favorite of mine since high school. It has the components of romance and mystery rolled into one novel. The story centers around Mrs. Rebecca de Winter who died and her widow, Maxim de Winter. Maxim remarried and his bride feels like she is taking over the life of Rebecca. Mrs. Danvers makes her life more stressful by showing her hate for the bride.
I love the ending to this book. (view spoiler) ...more
