4 out of 5 stars!
Rebecca truly blew me away! Classics, aside from horror/mystery classics can be very hit and miss for me. I think it may be a bit of the instant love in most and the unusual idea of romance.
But this Gothic romance sucked me in and Daphne’s writing is absolutely brilliant!
Maxim was a very heinous, unpleasant man and his young, new bride was childish… just completely juvenile. Yet they truly made the perfect team as the story developed and were surely the perfect couple.
This story is twisted, dark and very unnatural, but you won’t be able to put it down.
I will absolutely be looking into more of Daphne’s novels, especially if it is anything as exquisite as Rebecca.
And of course thank you all for reading.
