About this listen

And, of course, Rebecca.Public Domain © and (P)1996 Hodder & Stoughton Audiobooks Classics Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Romantic Suspense Fiction Romance Suspense

Critic reviews

"If Daphne du Maurier had written only Rebecca, she would still be one of the great shapers of popular culture and the modern imagination. Few writers have created more magical and mysterious places than Jamaica Inn and Manderley, buildings invested with a rich character that gives them a memorable life of their own." (Richard Kelly, Professor of English, University of Tennessee)

Emilia Fox was an inspired choice to narrate this version of Rebecca. I must have read this book many times and seen various TV versions - but listening to this was every bit as gripping as encountering it for the first time. I'm always amazed how brief the novel is when you consider how powerful it is - Daphne du Maurier doesn't spend a lot of time on descriptions of secondary characters, but with Emilia Fox's narration it is completely compelling and you are one hundred percent inside the head of the second Mrs De Winter.

Brilliant narration - perfect for this book

Love this book, one of my go to novels on a rainy day. Enjoyed "listening" to it for a change, makes it feel like a brand new story.

Emilia Fox is perfect!

I read this some 20-odd years ago and ended up buying the audio version to accompany me on a long train journey. Not only was I locked away in my own private little world I can honestly say I think I got more enjoyment out of it being read to me than reading it! Funnily enough I was travelling to Cornwall were the book is set!

Great story - well-balanced and well-told. However, it's very much of it's time regarding the motivations of the characters.
