Rebecca

The classic gothic thriller

De: Daphne Du Maurier

Narrado por: Holliday Grainger

A brand-new recording of the classic work, narrated by Holliday Grainger, star of The Borgias and The Capture.
On a trip to the South of France, a shy young woman falls in love with Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower. Although his proposal comes as a surprise, she happily agrees to marry him. But as they arrive at her husband's home, Manderley, a change comes over Maxim, and the young bride is filled with dread. Friendless in the isolated mansion, she realises that she barely knows him. In every corner of every room is the phantom of his beautiful first wife, Rebecca, and the new Mrs de Winter walks in her shadow.
Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the other woman. An international bestseller, Rebecca is the haunting story of a young girl consumed by love and the struggle to find her identity.

Gothic and romantic to its core

A timeless classic in a great narration by amazing Holliday Grainger. So descriptive and full of poignant details.

Great story. Not best narration.

It’s not the worst, but this person can’t pronounce ‘passage’ and had a very whiny tone. I really struggled to complete the book as she was narrating it, but Rebecca (luckily) does a good job of carrying itself despite this.
