Page Turner: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Those of you familiar with the oeuvre of Julie Garland and Jude Deveraux will love this book. However, du Maurier's command of the English language is quite something else. Straightforward storyline which one can guess from about 50 pages in (or less), but du Maurier sweeps you on a journey that leaves you wanting.

There's also the film, directed by Alfred Hitchcock with Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine in the leading roles.
