Even better on the second read, the build-up of suspense chapter by chapter, turn by turn is pitch-perfect to the very dramatic last line.
On a second reading I have more time for both Mrs de Winters and an awful lot less time for Mr de Winter who quite honestly could have prevented the whole mess by swallowing his pride and getting out of the mess years before the novel began. He lacked the balls of the first Mrs. Winters and the steadfastness and loyalty of the second.
My version of the novel has an afterward by Sally Beauman and I shall be revisiting her 2001 expansion of the tale from Rebecca’s point of view next. There are afterall two sides to every tale.
