THE WINTERS

Emily Rankin narrates this contemporary reimagining of REBECCA, set in the Cayman Islands and New York's Hamptons. Daphne du Maurier's original 1938 novel is among the most popular suspense novels of all time. In the new version, the unnamed main character is working at a charter boat company in the Caymans when she meets and falls in love with Max Winter, a recently widowed New York politician. She accompanies him to his estate to find herself constantly thwarted by his troubled teenage daughter and by the ever-present memory of his late wife, named Rebekah in this retelling. Rankin's narration adds to the emotion of both the love story and of the thrilling climax, which leads to a surprise ending. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2019]
