A book that I loved, an absolute must read, and now a favorite of mine. It's a book that will live on my shelves forever and I would re-read in the future. I would pick up anything else by this author without question. This book is now one of my all-time favorites.
This was hands down one of the best books I've ever read. It was so beautifully written. The “shocker” slid right into the story. There was no need to have to go out the way and build up to it. The story did that naturally.
Normally I don't like books where characters don't have a name but for some reason that didn't bother me too much with this book.
I know Maxim said Mrs. de Winter had a beautiful and unusual name. I just ended up calling her Delphine. Delphine de Winter.
We also never learn her age but it is mentioned more than once that Mrs. de Winter is much younger than Maxim. He was forty-two so I guessed that she was in her early to mid twenties.
My only regret when it comes to reading this book is that I didn't do it sooner.
