"We all of us have our particular devil who rides us and torments us, and we must give battle in the end." 
 I will not repeat the description of this book since others have already done so. 
 'Rebecca' by Du Maurier has made me feel more violently than I would ever have believed. 
 From the beginning I had a strong inclination for the second, unnamed Mrs. de Winter. I wanted her to succeed, to find happiness, to feel loved. But alas. All this lay in the hands of her husband - her happiness, identity and love. Damn him! More than anything I just wanted her to have a name of her own. 
 Rebecca is a book of dark secrets. All the characters we come across resonate pain, they are all broken in one way or another. In this way it so vividly presents the different shades of humanity. That there are no ultimately 'good' or 'evil' people. There are only those with misguided beliefs that drive there actions, violent passions that cloud their sensibilities and hidden sins and regrets that forever plagues lives. 
 The writing was eloquent, poetic and lovely. There is no doubt why this book is so beloved, no mistaking the power of such a story and no question of Du Maurier's talent. 
 Ohmygod this book is so utterly disturbing. It strips humanity bare and lays its sins out for the world to see.
