After completing the book, it was interesting to find out about the depth of du Maurier's historical research and how many of the characters were based on actual people, although some of the story is fictionalized. Part of the story takes place at Menabilly, which is the same historic setting Manderly was based on in Rebecca. The main criticism posed by professional critics is the language and attitudes portrayed in the story were too modern for the time period the book was set in during the 1600s. To a certain extent I agree with this criticism, yet I'd still recommend this book to du Maurier and gothic book fans.
For potential readers, my one suggestion would be to avoid reading the foreword and any in-depth information or reviews about the book. There are several important plot twists and the story could easily be ruined by coming across online spoilers.
Rating: 4 stars
Original Publication Date: 1946
Setting: UK, specifically Menabilly in Cornwall
