Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier With these words, the reader is introduced into an confined gray stone chateau on the windswept Cornish coast, as the moment Mrs. Saying de Winter reviews the chilling occasions that unfolded as she started her unused life as the youthful bride of a spouse she scarcely knew. For in each corner of each room were ghosts of a time dead but not forgotten—a past devotedly protected by the vile servant, Mrs. Danvers: a suite flawless and untouched, clothing laid out and prepared to be worn, but not by any of the incredible house's current tenants. With an ghostly presentiment of fiendish fixing her heart, the moment Mrs. de Winter strolled within the shadow of her secretive forerunner, decided to reveal the darkest insider facts and shattering truths almost Maxim's to begin with wife—the late and hauntingly wonderful Rebecca.
