Rebecca

Read this book...Rebecca...by....wait a sec...hv to go check..ha..Daphne Du Maurier..
sorry but i ALWAYS forget who the authors are..not very nice of me(nice=standard word used when u can't think of an apt adjective).

After a long time i read a book n even FINISHED it.Otherwise MOST books that i read now-a-days...just cant finish them..not that they re not GOOD enough..but they just aren't what u call page turners.I wont mention these books,not coz i dont want to offend the authors but coz i don't want people who ve gifted/recommended these books wowing never to gift/recomment a book to me.

but this one was really good.Its very descriptive with long drawn details of flowers n english"woods" n "mansions"(we GET it.you guys are RICH!) but once you learn to open your mind n IMAGINE all this the whole book plays in front of your eyes like a movie.(you might have to invent your own images for a LOTTA words..esp the house n stuff)

Other than the main plot(excellent) what i really enjoyed reading was the everyday life of these people..they(the English)had ARMIES of servants man!yea yea...they stole OUR wealth..i know i know..."smirk".

The writing really gives you a feel of the whole place...you can almost SMELL the musty rooms,the million flowers whose scents have descriptions like "spicy n pungent-sweet"..but its TRUE.some flowers DO smell like that.
You get as involved in the book as your daily soap n thats sayin a lot as you dont really SEE the characters n there aint 7 volumes to get to KNOW the characters,unlike Potter(big fan,long live J.K)..

The woman...Rebecca..is a wonderful delightful vamp..you hate her for being perfect n then love her in the end for being so deliciously vile..coz then u can see the heroine(wyho btw has no name.) n the hero walk off into the sunset..not really...there s a twist in the end.Wont tell wont tell.

So go read this book...seemed like i ended up makin a lil fun of the book...but its really "nice".
Go read.
