Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, Virago, $22.99.
First love is the sweetest they say. First love of a book may last longer — and if the book is worn out by that love it can be replaced.
Take a naive and penniless girl, employed by the overbearing Mrs Van Hooper. Enter Maximilian de Winter, a recent widower as rich as his name.
The classic love story? Oh, no. An absorbing mystery, full of memorable characters, dominated by Rebecca, the dead wife of Maximilian, and by his housekeeper, Mrs Danvers.
Joy Dettman’s new romantic drama Moth To The Flame (Pan Macmillan Australia, $32.99) is out now.
