5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!!, Jun 11 2003
By Mark Twain "Sam" (www.chismetime.com) - See all my reviews
"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly again..."

With that opening sentence, Rebecca offers an addicting and engrossing journey into the mind of our unnamed heroine, slowly tortured by her new marriage to Maxim DeWinter, a man twice her age, and haunted by his dead first wife, Rebecca--whose body was never discovered. She finds herself living in Rebecca's shadow and haunted by the mystery of the woman's death. She is and always will be the SECOND Mrs. DeWinter, something the sinister housekeeper, Ms. Danvers, will not let her forget.

Rebecca is a novel of mystery and passion, a deliciously dark psychological tale with a brooding atmosphere and unbearable tension. Daphne DuMaurier has crafted an exceptional masterpiece of romantic suspense, one of the best books of the 20th century and possibly the best book in the romantic suspense genre. Highly Recommended!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Search for Happiness, May 27 2002
This is a novel of mystery as well as intrigue. It is exceptionally written and an alluring read. The narrator, young and naive sets out to a new life she could only dream of. She is recently married to the rich and secretive Maxim de Winter, who owns the Manderly mansion. His former life plagues her and reveals horrific details of Maxim's past. Rebecca, Maxim's late wife, whose shadow the narrator walks in, becomes the one person who can shatter her newly found happiness. Rebecca's death still holds mystery but the truth has its ways of being known. I thought the book to be thrilling and compelling, keeping you at the edge of your seat with each turn of the page. The language is very descriptive and almost poetic. Each character, setting and element significant to the novel is vividly portrayed through her eloquent writings. This novel truly is a joy to read due to the puzzling plot which keeps the reader guessing right up to the very end.
