The novel follows an unnamed young woman who is working as a lady’s companion in Monte Carlo when she meets the widowed English Aristocrat Maxim de Winter. I’m happy to add another book to my list of five star reads. I had no idea what awaited in these pages, and even if I did, I’m not sure that it would’ve prepared me for the experience of reading this text. This novel was a required read for one of my English Literature courses this semester, and I’d admittedly never heard of it before. I wasn’t sure what to expect when reading Rebecca. Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca is a masterclass in riveting imagery, suspenseful scenes, and fascinatingly unreliable characters.
