    Love until death or until the next wife...

    Well, this is the first acquaintance with Daphne du Maurier and I could tell that it was quite interesting journey.

    At the first, if be honest, I expected something like a romance with notes of vanilla but as it turned out to a pretty intense thriller.

    How does it usually happen? If there is a murder, then the killer is definitely to blame and that's the end of it. However not everything is so "simple" with the victim Rebecca, the author reveals the other side of the victim, her "impeccable" character and other accompanying charms according to her husband's words. Yes, undoubtedly this is not a reason to kill, if all people killed those they hate, there would be no people left in the world.

    I like that Rebecca thought about herself until the end, she wanted to remain in people's memory very beautiful, young and healthy and not as sick and dull.

    Of course, it was ugly to use her husband for this, but so to speak, she killed two birds with one stone in the literal sense of the words.

    Of course, I may be wrong, but it seems to me that Maxim did not love our main character as a woman at the very beginning, he just protected her like a father. (Intersting fact that we still don't know her name, it's just not mentioned.)

    When problems appears or when he thought a lot, he did not share his worries with her, but told her not to bother herself.

    This is how children are usually protected from anxiety but she is his wife, not a daughter.

    Afterwhile, he began to trust only when he was convinced of her loyalty and love (Let's admit that after all, she loved him more than he did.)

    The end of the novel is still a dispute between readers.

    I really liked the Gothic atmosphere of the novel, I will be glad to read her other works.
