I have a copy of ‘Rebecca’ and look forward to reading it, even now many years later it still highly acclaimed.

The opening line to the story

“Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again” has become one of the most credited opening lines to any book and many authors who have appeared on Handwritten Girl have quoted it.

The story of ‘Rebecca’ is

Working as a lady’s companion, the heroine of Rebecca learns her place. Life begins to look very bleak until, on a trip to the South of France, she meets Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower whose sudden proposal of marriage takes her by surprise. She accepts, but whisked from glamorous Monte Carlo to the ominous and brooding Manderley, the new Mrs de Winter finds Max a changed man. And the memory of his dead wife Rebecca is forever kept alive by the forbidding Mrs Danvers . . .

Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the Other Woman. An international bestseller that has never gone out of print, Rebecca is the haunting story of a young girl consumed by love and the struggle to find her identity.

With a dark eerie cover in shades of blue and black, ‘Rebecca’ promises to be an intriguing story.
