While on a trip to the French Riviera, a shy girl meets a wealthy widower, Maxim de Winter, and after a brief acquaintance agrees to marry him. The happy times come to an end when the couple arrive at Manderley, Maxim's family estate. Unexplained changes come over the man, and the new Mrs de Winter realises that she does not know him at all…

Friendless, the girl is left alone in the vast residence, where the ghost of Maxim's previous wife, Rebecca, still lingers. Rebecca died here a year earlier in unexplained circumstances. The new Mrs de Winter resolves to discover who her perfect predecessor was and what terrible fate befell her at Manderley…

Superb entertainment… du Maurier created a new scale against which modern women can measure their feelings. Stephen King

A masterpiece! It is rare for any dead woman to wield power from beyond the grave with such force. Du Maurier gave Rebecca eternal life by writing about human fears buried deep in the subconscious. Kate Saunders, "The Times"

"Rebeka" is one of the most inspiring novels of the 20th century. With all its unsettling power, it has become permanently woven into the fabric of our culture, like a myth or a dream. A wonderful, enchanting book! Sarah Waters

Daphne du Maurier's novel has everything that an exceptionally demanding reader could wish for, including one of the most evocative opening sentences in the history of literature... Its perceptive psychological portrait and unrelenting atmosphere of unease made "Rebeka" a bestseller as early as 1938, and its sinister charm has endured to this day. "Marie Claire"
