This a radio play with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. As I noted in the comments, some of the funny things about this radio play are as follows: This tape cracked me up. First, Vivien Leigh LOVES Lux toilet soap. What the hell is toilet soap?! Secondly, there is a female cougher in the first par...
Honestly, I'm not sure why I decided to read this book. I was at a loose end after finishing Catching Fire, so I thought I'd just stroll through my school library and pick a classic. This jumped out at me. I must admit, it's advertising. I've always thought of Rebecca as a gothic romance novel, and ...

This review was previously posted in a slightly altered form on my blog, which can be found at www.thedeadauthorsclub.wordpress.com. It is one of my favorite reviews, so I am reposting it here. Apologies if you've already read it. Rebecca has one of the most famous opening lines in literature: "L...
This is where I was this weekend: Can you think of a better place to read Rebecca? Although the novel takes place over the span of a single summer, and du Maurier devotes page after page to describing Manderley's grounds in vivid, multifarious bloom, this can't be anything but an autumn boo...

“I would have gone too but I wanted to come straight back to you.I kept thinking of you, waiting here, all by yourself, not knowing what was going to happen.”Same with the review I did for Indiana by George Sand, I heard Rebecca through Meg & Dia song (pre-Dia Frampton if anyone watched her on the v...
Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier is one of the best written books I have read. Two-thirds of the way through was a plot twist that was a major change to how the characters interacted and the mood of the main character. If you like literary suspense, you will enjoy Rebecca.
I hoped that I would like this book more, as it's a much-loved classic and favourite of many. Unfortunately, though the characters are creepily fascinating (especially Mrs. Danvers), and the writing wonderfully atmospheric, I only got really interested in the plot at approximately the 3/4 point once...
SpoilersA tale of suspense with gothic, mystery and romance elements. It is obviously popular fiction but is quite good. It took me a little while to get comfortable with du Maurier's sentences which can sometimes be peculiar. The story is interestingly transgressive in that the hero essentially ...
