Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Rebecca is a classic gothic novel written by Daphne du Maurier, with a perfect blend of mystery, romance, and psychological tension. Set on the haunting estate of Manderley, it is a story of an unnamed young woman as she becomes the second wife to the wealthy, mysterious Maxim de Winter. Her finding her place proves to be more difficult since the long shadow cast by Rebecca-a beautiful, glamorous, and seemingly perfect first wife, dead under mysterious circumstances-threatens to cast its spell over the new Mrs. de Winter with every corner, from the rooms to the staff, of Manderley steeped in memory of the late Rebecca, making her feel out of place, inadequate, and insecure. Secrets about Rebecca's life-and her death-start unraveling, leading to some shocking truths that could well destroy the tenuous happiness that the narrator has found with Maxim. Atmospheric setting, captivating characters, and dark twists combine in Rebecca to form a fascinating tale of love, jealousy, and the enduring power of the past.
