Rebecca
'Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.'Working as the paid companion to a rich, elderly lady, the orphaned heroine of Rebecca learns her place. Life is bleak until, on a trip to the South of France, she meets Maxim de Winter, a suave, handsome widower whose sudden proposal of marriage takes her by surprise. Whisked from the glamour of Monte Carlo to Manderley, Maxim's Cornish estate, the friendless young bride begins to realise that she barely knows her husband at all. The brooding figure is a pale shadow of the charming man she fell in love with. And in every corner of every room is the phantom of his beautiful first wife, Rebecca.'…

Über den Autor
Daphne du Maurier (1907-89) was born in London, the daughter of the famous actor-manager Sir Gerald du Maurier and granddaughter of George du Maurier, the author and artist. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit, was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning, with whom she had three children.Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now. In 1969 du Maurier was awarded a DBE. She lived most of her life in Cornwall, the setting for many of her books.
