SynopsisThe multimillioncopy bestseller that has enthralled generations of readers. A haunting tale of obsessive love. A mesmerizing psychological thriller. In Monte Carlo, our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at Manderley, her husband's cavernous estate on the Cornish coast, that she realizes how vast a shadow his late wife, Rebecca, will cast over their lives--introducing a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their love from beyond the grave. This universally acclaimed novel has remained consistently in print since its original publication in 1938 and has frequently been adapted--for television, radio, the theater, and film--most notably in 1940 by Alfred Hitchcock, whose Rebecca received the Academy Award for Best Picture, and in the 2020 Netflix film starring Lily James and Armie Hammer. "Excellent entertainment...Du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings." --Stephen King "One of the most influential novels of the twentieth century, Rebecca has woven its way into the fabric of our culture with all the troubling power of myth or dream." --Sarah Waters, The reader is taken into an isolated grey stone mansion on the windswept Cornish coast with these lines, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the terrible events that occurred as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she scarcely knew. For there were phantoms of a time gone but not forgotten in every part of the vast house, a past devotedly preserved by Mrs. Danvers, the malevolent housekeeper: a suite pristine and unspoiled, clothing laid out and ready to be worn, but not by any of the great house's current residents. The second Mrs. de Winter travelled in the shadow of her mysterious predecessor, intent on uncovering the deepest secrets and shattering the most terrifying illusions.
