REBECCA

The story of Manderley, a mansion of exquisite gardens that run to the sea, is considered to be Daphne du Maurier's finest novel. Having played the young Mrs. de Winter in one of the BBC productions, Emilia Fox has a feel for the house and its tragic occupants. This familiarity lends itself well to a story about what one THINKS is real. Fox brings to life all the emotions needed to flesh out the characters' questioning of themselves and others. A good love story read with the sadness of looking back on one's hopes and dreams. R.S.E. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 04]
