Week 18 of my 52 book reading challenge (1 book per week for a year) is A book your mum loves. What is (one of) your mums favourite book(s)?
My chosen book this week is the classic novel, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.
Book blurb - Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again..."
Ancient, beautiful Manderley, between the rose garden and the sea, is the county's showpiece. Rebecca made it so - even a year after her death, Rebecca's influence still rules there. How can Maxim de Winter's shy new bride ever fill her place or escape her vital shadow?
A shadow that grows longer and darker as the brief summer fades, until, in a moment of climatic revelations, it threatens to eclipse Manderley and its inhabitants completely...
Daphne du Maurier's masterpiece weaves a special magic that no-one who reads it will ever forget.
