Finally got around to reading this after avoiding it for years as I hated Jamaica Inn so much: but Rebecca is a far stronger book. Very entertaining and a gothic classic for a reason. There are some piercingly human and relatable pieces of writing in it. And Mrs. Danvers is an unforgettable creation for sure.
