Now a Netflix movie starring Lily James, Armie Hammer and Kristin Scott Thomas! On a trip to the South of France, the shy heroine of Rebecca falls in love with Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower. Although his proposal comes as a surprise, she happily agrees to marry him. But as they arrive at her husband's Cornish estate, Manderley, a change comes over Maxim, and the young bride is filled with dread. Friendless in the isolated mansion, she realises that she barely knows him. In every corner of every room is the phantom of his beautiful first wife, Rebecca, and the new Mrs. de Winter walks in her shadow. 'The greatest psychological thriller of all time,' Erin Kelly. 'One of the most influential novels of the twentieth century,' Sarah Waters. 'It's the book every writer wishes they'd written,' Clare Mackintosh.
