'The moment I finished this story, I turned to page one and started it over again' MALORIE BLACKMAN
'Excellent entertainment . . . du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings' STEPHEN KING
'Rebecca is a masterpiece in which du Maurier pulls off several spectacular high-wire acts that many great writers wouldn't attempt' JIM CRACE, GUARDIAN
On a trip to the South of France, the shy heroine of Rebecca falls in love with Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower. Although his proposal comes as a surprise, she happily agrees to marry him. But as they arrive at her husband's home, Manderley, a change comes over Maxim, and the young bride is filled with dread. Friendless in the isolated mansion, she realises that she barely knows him. In every corner of every room is the phantom of his beautiful first wife, Rebecca, and the new Mrs de Winter walks in her shadow.
Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the other woman. An international bestseller that has never gone out of print, Rebecca is the haunting story of a young girl consumed by love and the struggle to find her identity.
'As a new generation of readers are introduced to the wicked housekeeper Mrs Danvers and learn Maxim de Winter's terrible secret, this chilling, suspenseful tale is as fresh and readable as it was when it was first written' DAILY TELEGRAPH
Edad recomendada: Adultos.
DU MAURIER DAPHNE
Daphne du Maurier 1907-1989 nació en Londres, Inglaterra. En 1931 se publicó su primera novela, The Loving Spirit. A continuación, se publicaron una biografía de su padre y otras tres novelas, pero fue la novela Rebecca la que la lanzó a la estratosfera literaria y la convirtió en una de las autoras más populares de su época. En 1932, du Maurier se casó con el mayor Frederick Browning, con quien tuvo tres hijos.
Muchas de las novelas y cuentos más vendidos de du Maurier fueron adaptados a películas premiadas, entre ellas Los pájaros, de Alfred Hitchcock, y No mires ahora, de Nicolas Roeg. En 1969, du Maurier recibió la distinción de Dama Comendadora de la Excelentísima Orden del Imperio Británico DBE . Vivió la mayor parte de su vida en Cornualles y murió allí, que es el escenario de muchos de sus libros.
