Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

My best book ever! So evocative, I could smell the flowers in the gardens, and hear the sea at Manderley. I just wanted to be there, and explore those gardens for myself, then walk down to the sea and have a nose around Rebecca's beach house.

Absolutely! Wonderfully written, and refreshing after too much modern day media/texting/slang and over the top attempts to thrill.

Fantastic - it has everything. It's a mystery, thriller, love story and social history all rolled into one. This dark and brooding story grips you from the (very famous) opening line and holds you to the surprising end.
