Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Ellen

If you have a lot of time, and want to get wrapped up in a story with beautiful language and a twisting plot, READ REBECCA!

The story is told by the main character, whos name we never learn. She is having a flashback about the events of what happened when she suddenly fell in love with and married an extremely rich man, Mr. De Winter, and moved to Manderly (a huge mansion estate) with him.


At Manderely, the narrator (Mrs. De Winter) is constantly reminded of Mr. De Winter's previous wife who died in a tragic drowning accident, Rebecca. Beautifull, witty, intelligent Rebecca. It seems to Mrs. De Winter that her husband never got over Rebecca's death, nor did the servants of Manderly and everyone else around them, who are still loyal to her. Rebecca continues to control Manderly, directly from the grave.


As the narrator continues to live at Manderly, she discovers terrible secrets that shock her and the readers.


Warning, this book is NOT a light read, but it was great nontheless. It's a "gothic" novel & I highly reccomend it.
