With these words, the reader is ushered into
an isolated gray stone mansion on the windswept Cornish coast, as the
second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events that transpired
as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she barely
knew. For in every corner of every room were phantoms of a time dead
but not forgotten—a past devotedly preserved by the sinister
housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers: a suite immaculate and untouched, clothing
laid out and ready to be worn, but not by any of the great house's
current occupants. With an eerie presentiment of evil tightening her
heart, the second Mrs. de Winter walked in the shadow of her mysterious
predecessor, determined to uncover the darkest secrets and shattering
truths about Maxim's first wife—the late and hauntingly beautiful
Rebecca.
