Rebecca

''The greatest psychological thriller of all time'' ERIN KELLY '' Rebecca has woven its way into the fabric of our culture with all the troubling power of myth or dream. A stunning book'' SARAH WATERS ''It''s the book every writer wishes they''d written'' CLARE MACKINTOSH ''Daphne du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings'' STEPHEN KING *** On a trip to the South of France, the shy heroine of Rebecca falls in love with Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower. Although his proposal comes as a surprise, she happily agrees to marry him. But as they arrive at her husband''s home, Manderley, a change comes over Maxim, and the young bride is filled with dread. Friendless in the isolated mansion, she realises that she barely knows him. In every corner of every room is the phantom of his beautiful first wife, Rebecca, and the new Mrs de Winter walks in her shadow. Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the other woman. An international bestseller that has never gone out of print, Rebecca is the haunting story of a young girl consumed by love and the struggle to find her identity. ''As a new generation of readers are introduced to the wicked housekeeper Mrs Danvers and learn Maxim de Winter''s terrible secret, this chilling, suspenseful tale is as fresh and readable as it was when it was first written'' DAILY TELEGRAPH
