There is no need for me to write a long gushing review, breaking down the reasons this book is a classic and why it deserves its reputation. There are hundreds of those. But I’m doing it anyway. We meet our narrator when she is on vacation with her employer. She is down on her luck, an orphan, and the paid companion of an odious woman she does not like. They meet Mr. de Winter, then because her employer takes ill, she has a lot of free time she happens to spend with Mr. de Winter. Just after her employer is well again and they are set to leave, Mr. de Winter proposes and whisks her away.
Moderate: Murder
Minor: Cancer and Incest
