   Jane Eyre door Charlotte Brontë (chrisharpe, fannyprice, ladybug74, HollyMS, lottpoet)

   chrisharpe: There are some similarities between these two books: a young woman marries an older widower and moves to his mansion, where the marriage is challenged by the unearthly presence of the first wife.

   fannyprice: These two books reminded me a lot of each other but Rebecca was more modern and somewhat less preachy.

   HollyMS: Since Rebecca was published, observers have noticed that it has parallels to Jane Eyre. Both are dark stories about young women who marry wealthy Englishmen.

   lottpoet: I can see the bones of Jane Eyre in Rebecca

   Rachel door Daphne Du Maurier (HollyMS, EllieH)

   HollyMS: Daphne Du Maurier's My Cousin Rachel has a similar theme as Rebecca.

    Thornyhold door Mary Stewart (whymaggiemay)

    whymaggiemay: Although I believe that du Maurier was the better writer, Thornyhold and many others by Mary Stewart give the same suspenseful feeling.

    A Sucessora door Carolina Nabuco (HollyMS, Anonieme gebruiker)

    HollyMS: When Rebecca came out, there were accusations that Daphne du Maurier had plagiarized A sucessora (The Sucessor) by Brazilian author Carolina Nabuco. Read it and decide for yourself.
