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)

Danny is so haunting! Just a slight 1930’s gothic read. The adaptations are brilliant on film and tv as well. Definitely worth a read and watch.

Narration excellent and I just love this book. Loved it since university.

Excellent read, superb narration of this story by Du Maurice the ending felt abrupt but I can’t remember how the actual book ends though. A great read thank you to the narrator Emelia Fox who performs some amazing characterisations, each one acted with delicacy so the reader doesnt get confused.

Fantastic

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

good

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!

Best travelling companion

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
