A review by jenni_elyse
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
3.5
I really enjoyed Rebecca. The story was very suspenseful and intriguing. The unnamed heroine reminded me of how I’d act or feel if I were in her situation, so she was quite relatable for me which helped me like the story even more. There were also a few twists that added to the depth of the story and caught me off guard. SpoilerI thought it was quite interesting that the end of the story is actually the beginning. After all the drama was over, I re-read chapter 1 so I could read about the main characters during a happier, less stressful time, if you could call it that.
The edition of the book I read actually had the original epilogue with it. Because the name of the heroine’s husband was changed, it was not included as part of the story. In fact, in this edition, Daphne du Maurier explains she rewrote the epilogue into the first couple of chapters of the book. I enjoyed reading the epiloque because it included a few details the published version didn’t.
