Rebecca follows a young bride as she marries an older man with a mysterious past. All she knows is that he lives in an incredible manor and his wife, Rebecca, recently died. As the narrator begins to unravel the truth in Rebecca’s death, the life as she knows it changes.
I loved Du Maurier’s use of imagery and setting, which are definitely a staple in the gothic genre. This, along with the beautiful writing made the narration incredibly strong.
However, the pacing seemed a little bit off, which is why I rated Rebecca the way I did.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book during October, since the vibes are right:)
