«A mesmerising novel which reveals more on each reading»
Helen Dunmore
«One of the most influential novels of the twentieth century, Rebecca has woven its way into the fabric of our culture with all the troubling power of myth or dream. A stunning book»
Sarah Waters
«Addictive and breathtaking. Its blending of melodrama and subtlety is ingenious. The Cornish setting never quite leaves the imagination»
Independent
«With one of the most evocative first lines ever, Daphne du Maurier's fifth novel has everything a reader could ask for . . . Psychologically astute and disturbingly romantic, Rebecca was an immediate bestseller on publication in 1938 and has cast a sinister spell ever since»
Marie Claire
«A brilliantly constructed novel - the ultimate in psychological suspense, instantly gripping and haunting, Rebecca will stay with you for ever.»
Alex Barclay, Psychologies
«From the opening sentence - "Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again" - to the final - "And the ashes blew towards us with the salt wind from the sea" - I was hooked ... Rebecca is one of the underrated classics of the 20th century ... 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
«Her masterpiece . . . Seldom has a dead woman exercised such power beyond the grave. Rebecca will live for ever because du Maurier touches a fearful nerve, buried deep in the unconscious»
Kate Saunders, The Times
«It is the greatest psychological thriller of all time. I see du Maurier as a forerunner to Patricia Highsmith, Ruth Rendell, Gillian Flynn: she is the giant whose magnificent shoulders the rest of us stand upon»
Erin Kelly
«I read this book more than twenty years ago, and must have read it a dozen times since. The characters are incredibly vivid, and the twists superb. It's the book every writer wishes they'd written»
Clare Mackintosh
«This 1930s gothic thriller is suspenseful and so well crafted. Its young, nameless heroine marries rich widower Maxim de Winter and returns with him to his mansion, Manderley, only to find the ghost of his first wife, Rebecca, still lingers»
Good Housekeeping
«It's the perfect winter book, brooding, dangerous and engrossing»
Kit de Waal, Sainsbury's magazine
«I am reminded of how profoundly du Maurier changed the way I felt about myself, how she engaged and excited me with her writing.»
Julie Myerson
«The DAILY TELEGRAPH»
‘As a new generation of readers are introduced to the wicked housekeeper Mrs Danvers and learn Maxim
«Excellent entertainment . . . du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings.»
Stephen King
