Rebecca

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Rebecca is the story of a nameless young woman who marries the wealthy and urbane Mr. de Winter in the wake of the death of his first wife, the titular Rebecca. The new Mrs. de Winter is tormented at her husband's mansion, Manderley, by the cruel and manipulative housekeeper Mrs. Danvers. The novel deals with emotional abuse, the nature of relationships, the fears faced by young wives, and with the obsessive cult of personality the late Rebecca constructed for herself.
