Rebecca by daphne du maurier book6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As the friendship deepens with Max, she accepts his sudden proposal of marriage and after a brief honeymoon, returns to Manderley. Like Rebecca, Manderley is an unseen character and just like her is lauded as a thing of beauty, taste and excellent class. They encounter Max de Winter and we learn that a year earlier he lost his wife, the beautiful Rebecca, in a tragic boating accident whilst the couple were at their home Manderley. My Rebecca is definitely a lot nicer than the Rebecca in this book though!Īt the start of the novel, our narrator is companion to the wealthy American, Mrs Van Hopper. Clearly I am having a moment reading auspicious books on auspicious days. More on this later.įirst of all, I would like to say it was nice to be reading this on the birthday of my sister-in-law, also called Rebecca. During this novel, at no point do you ever learn the name of the narrator, we only ever know her as 'My Wife' or 'Mrs de Winter'. I have just realised something, gosh I'm daft at times. ![]()
