Book SynopsisRebecca was Daphne du Maurier''s most famous and best-loved novel.

Married to the sophisticated, wordly-wise Maxim, the second Mrs de Winter''s life should be happy and fulfilled. But the vengeful ghost of Rebecca, Maxim''s first wife, continues to cast its long shadow over them.

Trade ReviewRetains all the brooding menace and enigmatic mystery of the original * Daily Mail *
The oustanding virtue of
Mrs de Winter is the elegance of its style... Susan Hill, winner of both the Somerset Maugham and Whitbread prizes, ignores the lush emotionalism of the original, sacrificing psychological menace for a fresh, modest lyricism which suits both her story and her times...dignified and respectful * Independent *
Splendid... A very good ghost story -- Beryl Bainbridge * Evening Standard *
Susan Hill's imagination is a force to be reckoned with * The Times *
Done excellently, with professionalism and panache * Sunday Times *
