Want a book to captivate you and remove you to another world, the world of Maderley? Be swept away by Rebecca's Tale, the sequel to du Maurier's classic tale Rebecca.
April 1951. It is twenty years since the death of Rebecca, the hauntingly beautiful first wife of Maxim de Winter. It is twenty years since the inquest, which famously- and controversially- passed a verdict of suicide. Twenty years since Manderley, the de Winter's ancient family seat, was razed to the ground.
But Rebecca's tale is just beginning..
'Once you start reading a Beauman book, you cannot put it down, as Rebecca's Tale attests...While both du Maurier and Beauman are great storytellers, Beauman really is the better prose writer' Linda Grant, Guardian.
