Rebecca
- Author name: Daphne du Maurier
- Date published: 1938
When
the unnamed narrator of “Rebecca” arrives at her new husband’s estate in
Cornwall, she finds that the previous Mrs. de Winter still retains a firm hold
over the estate, the help, and her widower husband. Seeking to uncover the
mystery surrounding Rebecca’s death, the new Mrs. de Winters worries that the
evil pervading Manderly will result in the end of her own life and the end of
her marriage. Touted for its subversive allusions to same-sex relationships,
Daphne du Maurier’s chilling book has firmly established itself as a classic
work.
