I was intrigued when I was asked by NetGalley to review this interesting slant on Rebecca Daphne Du Maurier classic story.
I was not sure what to expect and read without any misconceptions and so enjoyed this slant on a classic. reimaging Rebecca the gothic novel. Danni fled the Nazi and became a housekeeper in Cornwall. After the death of her mistress Daphne Du Maurier meets up with her and a passionate affair begins. Danni is kept in the subservient role and is dumped by the author fearing terrible social scandal. Danni is futher disgraced by being protrayed as the terrible Mrs Danvers who was so obseed with the dead Rebecca and as you know from the novel Rebecca tries to destroy the new Mrs De Winter and her marriage.- it is an interesting view and slant.
This is also being made into a movie with an all star cast - which I will be interested to watch when this comes out at the Tivoli Cinema in Cheltenham with a cocktail.
