Relation In Favor Of Books Rebecca's Tale

April 1951. It has been twenty years since the death of Rebecca, the hauntingly beautiful first wife of Maxim de Winter, and twenty years since Manderley, the de Winter family's estate, was destroyed by fire. But Rebecca's tale is just beginning.

Colonel Julyan, an old family friend, receives an anonymous package concerning Rebecca. An inquisitive young scholar named Terence Gray appears and stirs up the quiet seaside hamlet with questions about the past and the close ties he soon forges with the Colonel and his eligible daughter, Ellie. Amid bitter gossip and murky intrigue, the trio begins a search for the real Rebecca and the truth behind her mysterious death.

Reading Wide Sargasso Sea reminded me that years ago I'd bought a copy of Beauman's novel which in effect gives the other side of the story about Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca. Although chastened by the Rhys book, I plunged in anyway.The novel has four narrators: Colonel Julyan, who was Maxim de Winter's old pal and who was keen not to raise too many questions about Rebecca's death; a young scholar who's come to snoop around Manderley for reasons of his own; Rebecca herself in a discovered diary

Rebecca was a wonderfully, haunting gothic tale. Rebecca's tale is not. It's not even a decent detective story. Rebecca is a vivid character, a character that colours the lives of everyone in the original work, you are left to wonder at her. She is accomplished, beautiful and everyone desires her, yet.. It is made clear in the original story that she is manipulative, a liar and she had numerous affairs (confirmed by Flavell and Danvers).However, Miss Beauman decides that clearly Rebecca is a

This book in four parts, each narrated by a different character, is a sequel of sorts to Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. Decades after the end of the novel, characters introduced in the original novel and characters invented by Sally Beauman are still fascinated by the title character, her past, who she was, and what events truly lead to her tragic death. Sally Beauman explores these questions very creatively in a way that is cohesive with the original story. For the first two parts of the novel,

*Special Content only on my blog, Strange and Random Happenstance during Du Maurier December (December 2018)Colonel Julyan has always wondered if he did wrong by Rebecca. He was her only real friend when she was the mistress of Manderley and he never looked too closely at the verdict of suicide once it was revealed she was dying of cancer. Could her husband, Maxim, have killed her in a jealous rage without ever realizing she was using him to end her life? Ever since that day in London, before

I understand Beauman's impulse. Rebecca's narrator IS undoubtedly unreliable, and you do get the idea that there might be more to Rebecca than Maxim's version of her. We leave du Maurier's novel with many unanswered questions, including psychoanalytical ones about Maxim (superego? His NAME means "rule"), the narrator (identity only through her husband? accomplice or heroine?), and our own loyalties (should I be rooting for the side I chose?). Such ambiguities are what elevate Rebecca above

While I don't think that Rebecca's Tale is quite the great classic that its literary source is, I enjoyed it very much on a second reading, possibly more than the first time. It's certainly a page turner in the way Rebecca is, and it's also just as full of unreliable narrators interpreting stories, at second hand, that were unreliable start with! Having read it I still don't know if Rebecca was a Jezebel or a woman multiply wronged... although it does seem to me that she might have been a
