Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
397 pages
Gothic romance
my rating: DDG
This is one of those books that you return to time and again throughout your reading life. When read ‘Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again’, one of my favourite first lines, I am instantly transported to 1930s England and the house on the coast that I wanted for my own as a teenager reading this for the first time.
The Rebecca of the title haunts the story rather 
than participates in it and there are many of the other characteristics required for a gothic horror story, although it’s probably a bit tame for modern audiences. It’s a love story in the style of ‘R’omance – there’s not a lot of mushy stuff but there is a deftly handled romance between Maxim, Rebecca’s widower, and his new bride.
She’s the one who dreams about Manderley, the first person narrator, and she’s very easy for a reader to love so go on – give her a go.
