About the book

“From the opening sentence – “Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again” – to the final – “And the ashes blew towards us with the salt wind from the sea” – I was hooked…. Rebecca is a masterpiece in which Du Maurier pulls off several spectacular high-wire acts that many great writers wouldn’t attempt.” From the Guardian. Read full review here.
