Summary: Good writing, but the story wasn't nearly as good as Rebecca
Comment: Sequel to du Maurier's "Rebecca," one of my all time favorite novels.
This book is set 10+ years after Rebecca ends. Maxim's sister passes away,
finally luring Maxim and his wife back to England for the funeral. And of
course, then creepy things start happening... Or not. Can one really escape
the guilt that one would be living with....?
As a sequel, Mrs. De Winter comes off as very similar to "Rebecca." Hill
caught the voice and atmosphere of the original book very well. The character,
Mrs. de Winter, has matured depressingly little over the ten-twelve years
since the first book ended. But that may have been necessary to get the plot
to progress as Hill desired.

Summary: Bad Ending
Comment: The story was going a little bored at the beginning, became quite interesting in the middle, but beware of the end. It is pretty sad how it ends, with the two bad peoples, the crazy ones having an upper hand of this pathetic heroin and her dreams of happiness.
I hate the end, so depressing.

Summary: A Very Fitting Sequel
Comment: This was a very fitting sequel to Rebecca. Not only does it answer lingering questions but it also puts the tale to it's end. It is beautifully written in the style of Daphne Du Maurier. It was so much better than I had hoped. I actually enjoyed this story more so than its predecessor. And I truely loved Rebecca. Together the two books make the story whole. I had felt abandoned at the end of Rebecca but Mrs. deWinter brought me the closure I had hoped for. If you want to know what happens to Maxim & his new wife after Manderlay is gone, this is a definate read. Can Rebecca still haunt them after they have left that place? You'll have to read the book to find out.
