Visually stunning, but the soul of Rebecca lives in the book. The film enchants, but the novel haunts. Read first—then watch.

Last night I dreamt I went to #Manderley again…
The first lines of #DaphneDuMaurier’s classic #GothicNovel “#Rebecca” refers to the coastal estate in southern England owned by aristocrat Maxim de Winter. While Manderley was fictional, #GlenthorneHouse, on the #NorthDevon - #Somerset coast, is certainly reminiscent of the romantic manor and boasts some literary cred of its own.
A good portion of the renowned wartime novel “#TheEnglishPatient” (later made into a nine-time Oscar-winning movie of the same name), and other #novels, were penned at Glenthorne by Sir Christopher’s brother #MichaelOndaatje. #LiteraryRealEstate #Realestate #Architecture #History #LiteraryHistory #Photography #Literature #Writers #Novelists
@mjohnharrison this reminds me of another famous first sentence #manderley
@24hryabookblog @bookstodon so many! There's so much I could say about Rebecca by #daphnedumaurier, and the sequel by #SallyBeauman too. That book and the whole world around #Manderley obsesses me every time I read it...
