A complete insight into one of Britain's most celebrated novelists of our time. Rebecca was one of the great bestsellers. It has been read all around the world, and in many laguages. It has been highly successful as a play, a film, a television serial. Now Daphne Du Maurier reveals, very fascinatingly, how it came to be written: its origins, its development, the directions it might have taken, The original outline of the novel is here, and so is the original Epilogue. Daphne Du Maurier also reveals how she first came upon the secret house hidden away in Cornish woodland, that was to become the romantic setting of Rebecca: a house which stood derelict, and which she lovingly restored to make it her own home.

I've read the other reviews and decided to add something new that has not yet been mentioned here before, but might be of interest to a few Du Maurier fans who plan a trip to Fowey in Cornwall, UK.The most interesting chapters in this autobiographical book are the ones on how Du Maurier got inspired to write "Rebecca" while she and her husband were in Egypt and the "House of Secrets" chapter in which she talks about the time when she discovered the house 15 years earlier as a young girl vacationing in Fowey, Cornwall, with her parents and two sisters.But I also got a lot out of her chapter on aging and widowhood.What I enjoyed particularly was the fact that the autobiographical chapters have been put together in chronological order, so you can read the book from the first to the last page and notice that the next chapter is taking place later in Du Maurier's life and so on.
