''There was Manderley, our Manderley, secretive and silent as it had always been...Time itself could not wreck the perfect symmetry of those walls, nor the site itself, a jewel in the hollow of a hand.''

When Maxim de Winter brings his shy new bride to his beautiful stately home on the Cornwall coast, it seems like all her dreams have come true. The terrace slopes to the lawns, the lawns stretch to the sea, and the gardens are full of scented flowers.

But she soon finds that Manderley is haunted by the shadow of Maxim''s first wife, Rebecca, who died the year before. It was Rebecca who made the house and gardens the showpiece of the county and her memory is revered by all, especially the housekeeper Mrs Danvers.

As the hot summer fades, the mystery of Rebecca''s death grows, weaving a spell of fear and foreboding. In a series of climactic revelations, Rebecca''s memory is finally laid to rest.... but at what cost?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Daphne Du Maurier

Daphne du Maurier nasceu no seio de uma família proeminentemente artística e literária, em Londres, a 13 de maio de 1907. Publicou os seus primeiros trabalhos na revista Bystander, que resultou num contrato com um agente literário. Em 1931, lançou o romance Apaixonados, o primeiro de mais de duas dezenas que publicaria ao longo da sua carreira. É principalmente reconhecida por duas histórias, Rebecca (1938) e Os Pássaros (1952), ambas adaptadas ao cinema por Alfred Hitchcock. A sua novelística é marcada pela sugestão de elementos sobrenaturais, episódios imbuídos do espírito gótico e raramente com finais felizes. Em 1969, pelo inegável contributo que deu à literatura inglesa, é nomeada dama da Ordem do Império Britânico. Morre em casa, no condado da Cornualha, em 1989.
