Product Description

Review

'Dame Daphne's wise and attractive new book will enchant her many readers' SUNDAY EXPRESS


Product Description

'This book of occasional pieces from Daphne du Maurier's workshop is good to have: it is something of a continuation of her autobiography MYSELF WHEN YOUNG. The title piece is the remarkable Notebook she kept when REBECCA was forming itself in her mind -- the book that made her a worldwide bestseller and conquered both stage and films and ...television. The other pieces are mainly autobiographical but have no less variety than charm. Her devoted readers will not be disappointed' SPECTATOR

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read for Du Maurier fans, 24 April 2006
By Rebecca Smith (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although titled the 'Rebecca Notebook,' there is not a great deal of content on the makings of the novel (47 pages out of 180).
Having said that, the explanation of how "Rebecca' came to be is interesting; however I found the 'other memories' section far more gripping. With biographies on her farther, grandfather and other family members plus memories from her childhood you really begin to get a feel of what Daphne Du Maurier was like as a person. The book is sort of a 'behind the scenes' look at how her family and incidents as a child helped to shape her in to the great writer she became.

A must read for any Du Maurier fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating insight, but less about Rebecca, 21 Jul 2009
By Suzie (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I bought this book because Rebecca has to be one of my all-time favourites. In that respect I was slightly disappointed. There is little insight into how the idea of Rebecca formed in Daphne du Maurier's mind. Most of the pages relating to Rebecca repeat a chapter that the author intended as the opening to her novel but never used. In my view the novel is the better for it. I'm pleased she decided to change the hero's name too - Henry de Winter just doesn't have the same cachet as Maxim!

Despite the initial disappointment, it turned into a gem of a book and I enjoyed reading it. The anecdotes about the author's father, Gerald, and her grandfather, George, were fascinating, as was the story of how she found and lived in Menabilly, the house that inspired Manderley. The description of the overgrown drive that `twisted and turned' through the woods was every bit as compelling as those first intriguing sentences of Rebecca. Indeed, there are glimpses of the novel throughout these later chapters.

For any fan of du Maurier, and of Rebecca in particular, this book is a must and one that I'm sure you'll enjoy reading.
