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 home, 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.

I have listened to this at least 10 times and watched the movie an equal amount. It is lovely. I find it so full of the perfect love story which is not really something that normally I choose, but it is full of so many endearing nuances and the odd surprise. I do hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

Was wondering why chapter 1 (which normally takes at least 8 or 9 mins to read aloud) was read in under 2 mins, then I realised it's an abridged version lol. I like how this version simply leaves things out, rather than change the sentences though. Defo read/ listen to the full version if you want the full impact, but this isn't bad. Thanks for the upload.

I usually hate unabridged novels. This was beautifully narrated by Alex Kingston and was perfect for an autumn drive. I think it might also be good for a sleepless night.

Wish she’d overacted the sad or worried scenes of the principal character a little less. Makes for « corny » material if not. When the writing speaks for itself, voice actors can do less to achieve more. The rest is quite good.

It seems like it's abridged meaning it misses out some things but it's the same story line and no sentences have been changed. You can find the full version which is about 4hr 30 on KZfaq

FAY-vell? The character's name was Fah-VELL. This version is a poor substitute for the real thing and highly amateurish. The screenplay from Hitchcock's film was even better than the book- the dialogue is sharper, the scenes better drawn and organized and the ending much more dramatic than the washed out, nothing ending of the book.
