Daphne du Maurier’s tale of innocence, love, and Gothic horror has gripped readers in its spell ever since it was first published in 1938. Although Rebecca has been translated into film several times, this unabridged narration unleashes the full force of the haunting tale.
Everywhere Maxim de Winter’s young and frightened second wife turns, there are memories of Rebecca, his first wife. Hard as she tries to live her own life with Maxim at Manderley, it seems the memory of Rebecca is there to live it for her. And now, slowly and surely, the memory is destroying her.
