Rebecca
Overview & Summary
A shy, unnamed young woman marries the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter and moves into his grand estate, Manderley, only to find herself constantly overshadowed by the lingering presence of his beautiful, mysteriously deceased first wife, Rebecca -- kept alive by the sinister, devoted housekeeper Mrs. Danvers. As the new Mrs. de Winter uncovers the truth about Rebecca's death, the novel builds into a gothic tale of jealousy, obsession, and secrets. Daphne du Maurier's 1938 novel is a classic of romantic suspense.
