In case you are in any way unfamiliar with Rebecca, it's the story of a girl who is on holiday with the rich old lady she acts as a companion to, when she meets a nice guy. They hit it off and at the end of the holiday he proposes. It turns out he's minted and they go off to live in his massive old house in Cornwall. Trouble is, he was married before - his first wife died and no one seems able to forget her. The housekeeper, Danvers, is especially mean and takes delight in gaslighting and pranking the new Mrs de Winter. Her awesome new husband doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with this, by the way.
This is the story of a repressed woman trying to find her identity and assert herself in a world where everything is stacked against her, of being judged against other women and found wanting. In that respect, it can be taken as a metaphor for every woman in the world ever!
The description is what really stands out in this book - it really feels like you are there at Manderley, a creepy old house in the middle of nowhere. Rebecca, although she is dead and doesn't feature in the book, feels like a real person.
This book is just genius - definitely recommended.
