Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again . . .

The novel begins in Monte Carlo, where our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at his massive country estate that she realizes how large a shadow his late wife will cast over their lives--presenting her with a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their marriage from beyond the grave.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Daphne du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings.” —Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Du Maurier is in a class by herself.” —New York Times
“A work of immense intelligence and wit, elegantly written, thematically solid, suspenseful.” —Washington Post
“A brilliant piece of writing, with the atmosphere and suspense and pace that made Jamaica Inn an absorbing and thrilling story—and it has besides a depth of characterization and soundness of psychological conflict that makes it a finer and more penetrating book….A haunting sense of impending tragedy keeps one breathless to the end. It is fascinating reading.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Anna Massey, an experienced British actress, reads smoothly, capturing the innocence and passion of the young narrator. She does a fine job shifting among the characters, changing voices enough to distinguish one from another, even the male characters.” —AudioFile

Author Bio: Daphne du Maurier

Daphne du Maurier (1907–1989) was born in London, the daughter of the actor Sir Gerald du Maurier and granddaughter of the author and artist George du Maurier. She has been called one of the great shapers of popular culture and the modern imagination. She began writing in 1928, and many of her bestselling novels were set in Cornwall, where she lived for most of her life. Besides novels, du Maurier wrote plays, biographies, and several collections of short fiction. Among her more famous works are The Scapegoat, Jamaica Inn, Rebecca, and the short story “The Birds,” all of which were subsequently made into films, the latter three directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
