When I was pregnant with my son, I read My Cousin Rachel also by Daphne du Maurier. I enjoyed it thoroughly, though I had hoped for a happier ending. I look forward to reading Rebecca.

This book has been promissed to sugarkane via the relay site. I will get this book read and on its way to her no later than 4/30/04. I have a huge backlog of relay offers to mail which is why I haven't been making any new offers. Apologies for the delay!

Sugarkane appears to have either changed names or quit bookcrossing. I have posted a note looking for her in the forums. If I haven't heard from her in a month, I'll decide a different way to release this book.

Found sugarkane -- she's now florafloraflora.

I finally had the time to finish reading this wonderful thriller! Daphne du Maurier's prose carries so many important details woven together that every paragraph must be savored. Her books are not ones to speed read. As with My Cousin Rachel, the title character is created out of the other characters recollections of her, her possessions and her history. Unlike Rachel, Rebecca's appearance doesn't allow for her to make any explanations or tell her version of the story. Both books end abbruptly but with Rebecca there's a chance for happiness for the protagonist.

Journal Entry 10 by florafloraflora on Wednesday, October 6, 2004
This was great pulpy fun. It's too bad the love plot is so unconvincing (for that, I much preferred the movie), but I liked the story of how Mrs. de Winter fights her modest origins, natural shyness, and the dreaded Mrs. Danvers to become her own person. I will say it's a little weird the way Daphne du Maurier often describes the dialogue ("we exchanged polite remarks") instead of quoting it exactly. Thanks, caligula! I'm glad I finally got to read the book that inspired one of my favorite movies.

Released on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 at about 8:00:00 PM BX time (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) at Rebecca-Ruth Candies, 3295 Versailles Road in Frankfort, Kentucky USA.

RELEASE NOTES:

I couldn't resist doing a little bit of a themed release at the place where I buy my favorite candy. Now if only I had had a copy of The Book of Ruth by Jane Hamilton to release at the same time, it would have been perfect.
