Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier's haunting 1938 gothic classic, is currently free to read on Amazon for Kindle Unlimited subscribers, giving a new wave of readers the chance to discover or revisit the story that has captivated audiences for generations.
The novel follows a young, unnamed narrator who impulsively marries the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter and moves to his grand estate, Manderley. But once inside its sprawling halls, she quickly realizes she is living in the shadow of Maxim's late first wife, the glamorous and enigmatic Rebecca. Though Rebecca is dead before the story even begins, her presence lingers everywhere: in the house, in the staff, and in Maxim himself.
As secrets begin to unravel, du Maurier slowly transforms what first feels like a romantic fairy tale into a tense psychological mystery. Themes of jealousy, identity, class and obsession pulse beneath the novel's famously eerie prose. Its unforgettable opening line, “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again,”remains one of the most iconic first sentences in literary history.

Taylor Swift referenced the novel in a recent interview, sparking renewed interest among younger readers who may be discovering du Maurier's work for the first time. The book's themes of memory, insecurity and living in someone else’s shadow continue to resonate nearly 90 years after its publication.
Just be warned: once you enter, it's hard to leave.
