In a huge dark mansion, people, and walls, and I think the air remind the new owner of her deceased predecessor, the beautiful and sophisticated Rebecca de winter. Strange behavior of a spouse, suspicion, and sometimes hostility of workers, the General omissions, apparently intended to conceal the mystery of the death of the first wife of Maximilian put the heroine in awe. After several months of painful experiences she happen to know the carefully hidden truth about the past inhabitants of Manderley...the novel 'Rebecca' (1938), which made the world famous name of the English writer Daphne dumorier, almost immediately after the publication was filmed by Alfred Hitchcock, and decades later, having acquired the status of classics of the twentieth century and was awarded a flattering comparison with "Jane Eyre" Charlotte Bronte, gave rise to several sequels and arrangements, including – "Mrs. de winter" Susan hill, "other Rebecca" Maureen Frehley, "Rebecca's story" Sally beaumont.
