I will say I wasn’t very impressed. I had to push through. It just was not much of a plot. A lot of continuing remembrance of past characters. I’d read it didn’t get good reviews but I wanted to give it a try and was curious to see how it would end.
Absolutely love it. One of my all time favourites. There is actually a prequel to it called Rebecca’s Tale by Sally Beauman it gives the story from Rebecca’s own perspective.
It’s sold as a prequel. To be honest it is in the sense that it tells the story of Rebecca through her eyes. A lot of people are not enamoured with it@Dianee. I found it quite interesting to hear her story it filled in a few gaps if you see what I mean. It’s a totally different style of writing though.
it’s been a long time since I read it. I think it was the fact that the title was named after the guys dead wife. For some reason that bothered me. Read as a teen.
I enjoyed it. I definitely want to check out some of her others.
Loved it! One of the best books I’ve ever read.
Love this book. It got me into all her books too
my favourite book, enjoy ?
Great! I’m sold
She is a very good writer. Enjoyed Rebecca a lot.
So good!!
A master piece
One of my favourite authors. Love her short stories as well.
Wonderful!
First book that totally captured me
Me too
My favorite ~ I own so many copies, I think I have a problem……..
I’m trying to find the sequel. Anybody have any info ?
Yes I bought it on Amazon through a third party seller. Maybe do to weather but it took 10 days or so to deliver.

It wasn’t entirely not worth it but it just couldn’t reach Rebecca level. Understandable since it was a different author.
I would recommend skipping the sequel. It goes in a direction I really wasn’t expecting and is nowhere near du Maurier’s standard of writing.
Rebecca’s Tale by Sally Beauman. I have a copy in my online book store but I’m in the UK do depending on your location postage could be expensive
I have a copy.. you can have it if you like…
LOVE IT.
One of my all-time favorites!
I love ALL her books.
I have it but I haven’t read it yet.

Thanks for the tip. I have Rebecca’s Tale, but haven’t read it yet. I didn’t realize it was a prequel to Rebecca. I’ll move it up on my TBR list 🙂

No one could top Daphne Du Mauier’s writing, but it would be nice to get Rebecca’s side of the story. Oh, so many books, so little time
Yes as I said it fills some gaps in when you read it @Diane.
You have a great read!
Hated it
I haven’t read it yet but I’m curious why you didn’t like it!

I have trouble with the older British authors. They write in English, but it’s different English.
Fabulous!!! Love Gothic tension
It’s a classic in the canon of literature!
