I read this back in high school and absolutely fell in love with this book. What a beautifully told story. I MUST revisit this one! When I do, I will update my review...

This is a book about getting lost, well it completely LOST me and not in a “oh this is an adventure way” more in a “I am so out of my depth here way”.

Solnit references Hitchcock’s Vertigo and it’s an apt allusion. I was invariably disoriented from start to finish.

TD cannot recommend.

It took me years to get around to reading this...It was really worth it. What a great story and classic.

In school I had to read Jane Eyre, which I did not enjoy at all (at the time). My mom told me that she had always preferred Rebecca as an alternative; I do too. To me, du Maurier sustains the suspense much better than Miss Bronte.

The main character is sooo timid, I wanted to wring her neck, but I rooted for her the whole way.
