Product Information
* 'The greatest psychological thriller of all time' ERIN KELLY * 'One of the most influential novels of the twentieth century' SARAH WATERS * 'It's the book every writer wishes they'd written' CLARE MACKINTOSH NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX MOVIE STARRING LILY JAMES, ARMIE HAMMER AND KRISTEN SCOTT THOMAS Working as a lady's companion, the orphaned heroine of Rebecca learns her place. Life begins to look very bleak until, on a trip to the South of France, she meets Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower whose sudden proposal of marriage takes her by surprise. Whisked from glamorous Monte Carlo to his brooding estate, Manderley, on the Cornish Coast, the new Mrs de Winter finds Max a changed man. And the memory of his dead wife Rebecca is forever kept alive by the forbidding Mrs Danvers . . . Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the Other Woman. An international bestseller that has never gone out of print, Rebecca is the haunting story of a young girl consumed by love and the struggle to find her identity.Product Identifiers

Author BiographyDaphne du Maurier (1907-89) was born in London, the daughter of the famous actor-manager Sir Gerald du Maurier and granddaughter of George du Maurier, the author and artist. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit, was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning, with whom she had three children.Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now. In 1969 du Maurier was awarded a DBE. She lived most of her life in Cornwall, the setting for many of her books.

Worth a read.
This is a good read. The 1940 film is one of my all time favourites. I decided to keep an open mind. It’s a well written good story. The beginning is almost exactly the same as the film , but as the book progresses there are a few major differences which didn’t work for me. I probably would have given 5 stars if I hadn’t seen the film , which was the better of the two for me .Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier is a great read.
A wonderfully gripping story set many years ago, full of mystery and suspense. I bought this copy for my daughter to read in lockdown. Even the cover design is beautiful !Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not as expected
I expected the book in the photo which wasn’t the case which I didn’t mind. But the only thing that I was thoroughly disappointed with was the fact that it stated in the description that the book would be checked for hand writing. But clearly it hadn’t been checked because when I started reading the book I found several pages with handwriting. But other than that the book was a very good read. I am happy to keep the book but in future could they please check PROPERLY for handwriting and highlighting.

Superbly written classic literature
Possibly one of the finest books ever written. Beautifully crafted. Every word carefully chosen and each sentence constructed with expertise and a sensual knowledge of the subject. Highly recommended, but beware, it is long...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
