The one thing i remember from the beginning is how the vegetation is given life like qualities but in describing Mrs. Danvers, there are death like similes used. This was very striking to me. I just may have to reread this soon. Watching the Hitchcock version right after reading the book is good as there are obvious differences. I can't say which ending is better, I liked them both. Another gothic element is the sea element.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282803815704229945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-23412216554491833582009-04-26T14:26:00.000-05:002009-04-26T14:26:00.000-05:00So glad you finally read it.

And I've seen the film with Lawrence Olivier and enjoyed that too, though I always prefer the book. Thanks for reviewing this. I love it when someone finds an oldie but goodie.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-74637397032618638332009-04-26T12:57:00.000-05:002009-04-26T12:57:00.000-05:00I read this novel for the first time recently and ...I read this novel for the first time recently and loved it. I've started to recognize that I really enjoy these gothic stories - and du Maurier is such a skilled writer! Glad to see it struck a positive chord with you as well.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-43043918172261702672009-04-26T12:55:00.000-05:002009-04-26T12:55:00.000-05:00I've not read Rebecca and I like Gothic Romance st...I've not read Rebecca and I like Gothic Romance style novels so should add this to my list. <br /><br />I've passed on an award to you, check out my Sunday Salon post for details.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838832109510581167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-25955957914162812252009-04-26T11:33:00.000-05:002009-04-26T11:33:00.000-05:00For some reason, I thought Rebecca was a romance s...For some reason, I thought Rebecca was a romance story too.
