Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca"

[LJS666]

Has anyone ever wondered what the name of Max de Winter's 2nd wife was? In the book "Rebecca" the ghost of the evil 1st, dead wife looms over the 2nd wife. The 2nd wife's name is never given. At one point the husband says - "what a beautiful and unusual name", 2nd wife says "my father gave it to me, he was an artist".

I think it was Lalage (Lal-ah-gay). Any thoughts? Perhaps Imogen?

Erm... Mona?

yes, i was very annoyed to never find out

how irritating!

On a slight ranty tangent, there are two houses in my town called Manderlay. Isn't that just .........

I always wanted to know

Maybe

Sienna
Indigo
Claudette
Cerise

lol valium - there is a bungalow in my grandparents' village called 'Tara'

aspirational, much?

"Cashelmara"

(very good book btw - that susan howatch writes a cracking novel)

Given the date it was written, probably Sharon?

Tsk - Sharon!?

Please, it was Amanda.

Just kidding, I think it was Lalage, Hermione or Imogen.

Something slightly nuts but beautiful.

No major characters in any of her books ever has children. Did she just inhabit a world of infertile people, because there wasn't much in the way of birth control back in her day.

Ermintrude
Magenta
Fauve
