Bookseller recommendation

“Reading Rebecca for the first time, I was frequently rendered speechless by aesthetic appreciation of the prose. I'm a sucker for lush, atmospheric descriptions of nature and architecture, and there's plenty to be found here. Though it's not quite horror, this is a gorgeously written, nebulously spooky gothic tale that leaves you constantly feeling like something is not quite right. ”
— Kaley • Quail Ridge Books

Bookseller recommendation

“Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier is my go-to rainy day book. Despite the ambiguity gothic novels thrive on, the characters in Rebecca were fully fleshed out and the haunted manor is beautifully described. It's slow moving at first, but once the tension builds, you'll have a hard time putting it down.”
— Emma • Quail Ridge Books

It is only when they arrive at his massive country estate that she realizes how large a shadow his late wife will cast over their lives--presenting her with a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their marriage from beyond the grave."Daphne du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings." —Stephen King

Daphne du Maurier (1907-89) was born in London, the daughter of the actor Sir Gerald du Maurier and granddaughter of the author and artist George du Maurier. Her first novel, The Loving Spirit, was published in 1931, but it would be her fifth novel, Rebecca, that made her one of the most popular authors of her day. Besides novels, du Maurier wrote plays, biographies, and several collections of short fiction. Many of her works were made into films, including Rebecca, Jamaica Inn, My Cousin Rachel, "Don't Look Now," and "The Birds." She lived most of her life in Cornwall, and was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1969.
