Rebecca (Audio Cassette program)
Maurier, Daphne Du
1993 45096 It's no wonder that the woman who becomes the second Mrs. de Winter (whose first name we never learn) eagerly accepts Maxim de Winter's offer of matrimony. She's young, orphaned, and employed as companion to a mean-spirited fading beauty. The handsome widower simply sweeps her off her feet. In a matter of days, the new bride accompanies her seemingly devoted husband to Manderley, his isolated home on the Cornish coast. From the first, the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, frightens the new bride with her chilling devotion to the dead first Mrs. de Winter, Rebecca. And, all to soon, the second Mrs. de Winter realizes that Maxim married her for her youth and warmth, hoping to use her as a shield against Rebecca's malignant presence -- a lingering evil that threatens to destroy them both from beyond the grave. First published in 1938, this classic gothic novel is such a compelling read that it won the Anthony Award for Best Novel of the Century. From the Publisher "Last Night I Dreamt I Went To Manderley Again." So the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter remembered the chilling events that led her down the turning drive past ther beeches, white and naked, to the isolated gray stone manse on the windswept Cornish coast. With a husband she barely knew, the young bride arrived at this immense estate, only to be inexorably drawn into the life of the first Mrs. de Winter, the beautiful Rebecca, dead but never forgotten..her suite of rooms never touched, her clothes ready to be worn, her servant -- the sinister Mrs. Danvers -- still loyal. And as an eerie presentiment of evil tightened around her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter began her search for the real fate of Rebecca..for the secrets of Manderley. Internet Bookwatch Anna Massey's dramatic voice provides just the right degree of drama and tension for Rebecca, the psychological story of a young woman's confrontations with a remote employer, a hostile housekeeper, and the ghost of a past wife. The unabridged presentation allows for full appreciation of Du Maurier's works and subtlety: highly recommended. USA Today - Deirdre Donahue Published in 1938 Rebecca was a spectacular novel. It later became a fabulous movie starring Joan Fontaine and Lawerence Olivier. And now it is a breathtaking audiotape. Ann Massey does justice to the frightened young bride and her enemy, the brooding housekeeper Mrs. Danvers, who raised Rebecca.. How good is this audiotape? Well, even if you've read the book, seen the movie and know the dark secret that lies at the center of the plot, it still will chill and fascinate you. And for those who come to the audio innocent, well, use cation when driving. — Billboard - Trudi Miller Rosenblum Narrator Anna Massey does a goodjob of evoking both the insecure, shy persona of the heroine and the older-but-wiser attitude of her later self, who is looking back and telling the story. She also varies her voice appropriately for the different characters. Synopsis "Last Night I Dreamt I Went To Manderley Again."
