Product Description:
A girl is haunted by her own imagination and by the ghost of Rebecca De Winter in this reading of Daphne Du Maurier's novel.

- Transported to Manderley.This was a great read and I am so glad I found it. The first two chapters are slow, so give it a chance to at least get through those (I noticed some readers gave up way too soon!). I read the book in a couple of days' time. The book is to me, not a romance, though it is labeled as such. There are romantic elements to the book, but they are not the forefront. It is more about the internal and external struggles of the heroine and her quest to uncover secrets surrounding her. This book was ... Read More

- This is a character study, not a romance or mystery really For all of Rebecca's hype as the "modern masterpiece" of Gothic fiction, romantic suspense, etc., I think readers need to understand exactly what they will be getting with this story.

I would imagine something one way after reading a bit, then the author would say something that shattered my mental image for absolutely no necessary reason other than being hopelessly verbose. Perhaps this is my own problem, but with so many descriptions I would have to try to figure out what the particular setting was, now.
Beyond that, if you are willing to skim and dig for the important points, a rather haunting book at ... Read More

- Loved itOne of my most favorite books ever. You must remember when it was written and the period it is set in when reading. From other reviews I see some have become bored and impatient with the book which is a shame. If you take the time to understand the characters, including Manderley, you may find more to consider than it seems.
