Rebecca

[maamajullah]

Hi y'all!
What is the difference between the
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
and
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier and Sally Beauman?

Which one should i read?

Never come across the second. Go for the first.

Yeah, the first. The second is a modern "prequel" and not a patch on the original.

"Rebecca's Tale" is by Sally Beauman and it is rubbish (I read it last week); so I suspect "Rebecca" by Sally Beauman would also be rubbish.

"Rebecca" by Daphe Du M.. is v good.

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier rip roaring read dont know about other

Rebecca one of best books I read this year ... I loved it. Def the D du M one.

Daphne du Maurier's original fab , Sally Beauman's Rebecca's Tale implausible and shite !

Oooh I thought this thread was calling me!

I've read teh DduM one but never heard of the other. I loved it.

Rebecca by D Du M. Brilliant.

I've read Mrs. De Winter by Sally Beauman and it was ok but not read Rebecca by her. Wouldn't bother tbh. What's the point when the original is absolutely fantastic.

Read the original. And then read anything else by DdM that you can get your hands on - My Cousin Rachel, Frenchman's Creek, Jamaica Inn, The Glassblowers, Don't Look Now, The Birds etc etc.

I loved the one By Daphne du Maurier. It was the fist book I read in English (I grew up in Switzerland). Hands up for our teacher who chose such as gripping story for us.

yes, read the original

Thanks y'all! I'll def get the original.
And other Daphne D M books Chippy

House on the Strand is another good one. Hope you enjoy them.

One of my favourite books too. . Don't know the Sally Beauman one though.

Every woman should read 'Rebecca' it teaches us so much about ourselves!

Don't start reading on a work night - once you start reading it is morning light before you know it!

And be prepared for it to make you want to buy stationery (or is that just me, with the description of Rebecca's desk ?)

it sounds good, what is it about?

Rebecca is one of my all time favourites, love other DdM as well. Like to read in Cornwall for full effect .

yeah I like House on the Strand! well I like all her work

rofl, Jackie, I had a desire for nibs and ink and fine white linen notepaper too

I've seen the RL house that was the setting for Manderley. Reader, I swooned with pleasure

Glad it's not just me, snigger . ChippyMyrrhton .
