출판사 설명
In this classic Gothic suspense novel by Daphne du Maurier, a young woman marries a widower and discovers that more than just the memories of his deceased wife linger in their home.
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again . . .
The novel begins in Monte Carlo, where our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at his massive country estate that she realizes how large a shadow his late wife will cast over their lives--presenting her with a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their marriage from beyond the grave.
"Daphne du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings." —Stephen King

Disconcerting and engaging at once
I’m sure there are millions of reviews on this book as it’s been around for a very long time. But I would encourage any reader to read this story. Spoiler - pay close attention in the first couple of chapters! I breezed through them because I thought they were rather boring, but as i read and then got to the end, I realized what an important part those first two chapters played, so after finishing the book I went back and reread the first two chapters. An amazing mystery/thriller/love story/ period piece all in one book! She was an incredible writer!
what a twist
i was assigned this book for a class and from the synopsis the teacher gave me, i was already bored of it before i even started!! You begin reading the booking thinking it’s about a self conscious, meek girl trying to impress her hubby.... boy does that end quick!! the twist, the mystery, the excitement when the truth starts u raveling REALLY made this book a winner. Would read 10x over :)
Welcome to Manderley
As one reaches the middle of this novel, the reader starts to feel quite at ease in Manderley; it is a home away from home and the reader is a fly on the wall during the most intimate conversations between Maxim and his bride. It is so difficult to put this book down. The reader is compelled to keep reading to see what will happen next.
