Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. . . With these words the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone manse on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events that transpired as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she barely knew. For in every corner of every room in the immense, foreboding estate were phantoms of a time dead but not forgotten -- a past devotedly preserved by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers: a suite immaculate and untouched, clothing laid out and ready to be worn, but not by any of the great house's current occupants. And with an eerie presentiment of evil tightening her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter walked in the shadow of her mysterious predecessor, determined to uncover the darkest secrets and shattering truths about Maxim's first wife -- the late and hauntingly beautiful Rebecca.

    Not to be missed!

    Forget the Hitchock's movie, the many plays you might have or not have seen,this is the real thing. A really suspensful and chilling story that will keep you gripped from the start till the end! P.S. Read it when you've got time free because you won't want to put it down.

  • Classic!

    When I started reading this book I was not sure if I would enjoy it. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and I had a hard time putting it down. It is very intriguing and makes you want to keep reading to see what is going to happen.
