Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. What a great read! The movie is good, particularly the scene when the narrator dresses up like Rebecca for the costume ball. I love Jasper Fforde's books, too (the Mrs. Danvers clones are a hoot!). Have you read The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield? That's another gothic story you might like.

Jodie, isn’t that a great detail? I didn’t know there was a modern reinvention. Have you read it and if so, is it worthwhile?

Love that detail about Du Maurier not being able to think of a name – will you read the modern reinvention of the book (I think it’s called Rebecca’s Tale)? My edition of Rebecca had an afterward by the author, Sally Beauman, who makes much of the fact that Mrs de Winter has no first or maiden name.

I loved Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel and Frenchman’s Creek and well, Daphne Du Maurier for writing so many great reads!
