A review by goblinhearted
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
5.0
Rebecca is a genre-defying gothic novel that tells the story of a woman haunted by her husband’s first wife.
Du Maurier crafts such a compelling, well-paced, atmospheric, and suspenseful story. Every part of it felt so complete. It reignited my love for what we call the “classics” of literature. As a former English major, I am absolutely betrayed by myself to have not read this one sooner.
I feel like any review I write could never do this book justice, so I’ll just say this: if you enjoy gothic literature, like Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights and if you crave dark, spooky, atmospheric novels with mysterious and thrilling secrets to unfold, then this book is for you.
