After honeymooning in Italy the dashing Max de Winter returns with his innocent young bride to Manderley, the beautiful family estate in Cornwall. Yet the former mistress's disturbing presence lingers throughout the house, particularly in the persistent reminders of the grim housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers. Du Maurier's shy heroine is tortured by constant comparisons to the glittering socialite who was her predecessor and she is heading towards tragedy and despair when Rebecca herself appears...

It was interesting to hear the story again - I do recall, that I liked it very much, when I read it during my school days, but almost the complete story was forgotten. The only details I could recall were the malignant housekeeper and burning Manderley at the end... However the story has more to offer, than that. I am glad I refreshed my memory with it.
