A review by annablume
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

the first half took me a very long time to get through, especially the beginning in monte carlo. to me it makes sense to have the book unfold in this way but it was tough to keep myself exited. it's a lovely gothic novel but i've learned that i can only take so much old money english countyside bla bla.
i've got problems with anxiety and certain passeges make you really feel the main characters anxiety and i had to take breaks when reading them. 
 
i didn't really get the fear of mrs danvers until  the masquerade. i guess i just don't fear lesbianism lol
