Maxim DeWinter, a gentleman from the upper ranks of English society, meets and marries the young narrator of the story. Maxim, having just lost Rebecca, his former wife, meets the narrator, who is attending an American woman in the south of France. The second Mrs. DeWinter is nothing like the first Mrs. DeWinter who was beautiful, witty, fashionable, and sporty. The narrator is shy, mousy, and is very working class. Rebecca and Manderly, Maxim's stately home in the English countryside, are intimidating to the narrator. Gradually the narrator learns that Maxim in fact was not in love with Rebecca who was selfish, cruel and led a secret life with various lovers in London. Once the narrator realizes that Maxim was not in love with Rebecca, she gains confidence and begins to assert herself. When she learns that Maxim was responsible for Rebecca's death, she stays by his side. ( ![]() Anoche soñé que iba a Manderley de nuevo… Esa es la clásica frase que da inicio a la trama de Rebeca, pero para nuestra heroína, la historia realmente comienza en Montecarlo, donde queda cautivada por el apuesto viudo Maxim de Winter y su repentina propuesta de matrimonio. Huérfana y trabajando como dama de compañía de una mujer adinerada, apenas puede creer su suerte. Sin embargo tan pronto llegan a Manderley, la enorme finca hogar de su flamante marido, se da cuenta de la gran sombra que Rebeca, la difunta esposa de Maxim, proyecta sobre sus vidas. Reread after feeling inspired by The Reading List. An absolute masterpiece of Gothic literature. Intense and atmospheric. A haunting read, it came full circle by the end. The middle of the story caused me so much anxiety, many of the encounters were awkward, causing me to cringe for the poor girl. There was a looming doom through out the story until it got towards the end. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what was going to be that doom moment but I felt it coming. I will say it was much less shocking than the ideas I had come up with. Over all it was a perplexing character story, a classic worth reading once in your life. A person can make the story as deep as they want, by taking it at face value or diving into the hidden meanings of it all. I loved the added Afterword at the end of the book. Shined so much light on the book, and the life of the author. A great addition to the story. The tale of a young second wife whose husband's secrets threaten their marriage. Suspenseful and very well-written.
"Rebecca is a lowbrow story with a middlebrow finish,” announced The Times Literary Supplement when Daphne du Maurier’s bestselling novel was first issued in 1938. Critic V.S. Pritchett was even more dismissive in his review, announcing that Rebecca "would be here today, gone tomorrow." The novel did generate positive coverage in Good Housekeeping and Ladies Home Journal, but that kind of praise did more harm than good in elite literary circles.... [the] novel has slowly climbed the path from lowbrow to highbrow in the eight decades since its initial publication, and is now more likely encountered on a college syllabus than at a supermarket checkout counter. You will now find Rebecca on the assigned reading lists of classes on gender politics, British fiction, Gothic style and other academic subjects.... Rebecca ranks among the most acute literary explorations of jealousy.... In truth, plot plays only a small part in the lasting success of this novel. The story itself is simple, and even the supposedly surprising twists are often telegraphed long in advance. What sets Rebecca apart from its peers is its author’s mastery of tone and mood, emotion and psychology.

With these words, the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone mansion on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events that transpired as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she barely knew. For in every corner of every room were phantoms of a time dead but not forgotten - a past devotedly preserved by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers: a suite immaculate and untouched, clothing laid out and ready to be worn, but not by any of the great house's current occupants. With an eerie presentiment of evil tightening her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter walked in the shadow of her mysterious predecessor, determined to uncover the darkest secrets and shattering truths about Maxim's first wife - the late and hauntingly beautiful Rebecca.
