About this listen

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.

Oh dear - another reviewer pointed out some of the odder pronunciations and so I got stuck every time on the 'passage' read with a long 'aaaaa'' at the beginning! But the book itself is of course brilliant...

A good book and I liked the analysis of it at the end. Will most likely listen to it again in the future.

A true classic

I loved Holliday Grainger's reading of Rebecca. She gets that clipped 1930s accent just right and her Mrs Danvers is perfect.

A beautiful reading

It’s really worth listening to the unabridged version, it’s stunning. Please to the publisher, edit this book, the repeated lines are very annoying and ruin a perfect narration.

The most amazing book!

This book is spectacular and will stand the test of time. It subverts the "Cinderella" trope by showing that marrying the prince and moving into the castle can be a waking nightmare. It’s less about "happily ever after" and more about the toxic ways secrets and how following love can rot a foundation. It also delves into the impact on mental health and how adaptation is so often forced upon so many just to survive.

Phenomenal work!
