"Last Night I Dreamt I went to Manderley Again..."
With these words, the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone
mansion on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de
Winter recalls the chilling events that transpired as she began her new
life as the young bride of a husband she barely knew. For in every
corner of every room were phantoms of a time dead but not forgotten--a
past devotedly preserved by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers: a
suite immaculate and untouched, clothing laid out and ready to be worn,
but not by any of the great house's current occupants. With an eerie
presentiment of evil tightening her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter
walked in the shadow of her mysterious predecessor, determined to
uncover the darkest secrets and shattering truths about Maxim's first
wife--the late and hauntingly beautiful Rebecca.
This special edition of Rebecca includes excerpts from Daphne du
Maurier's The Rebecca Notebook and Other Memories, an essay on the
real Manderley, du Maurier's original epilogue to the book, and more.
