I was so excited to see a sequal to Rebecca, one of my favorite books. But I was very disappointed in it. At the end of Rebecca, the narrator was a strong and confident woman secure in the knowledge that Max loved her. She wasn't scared of Mrs Danvers or Rebecca anymore.
For some reason, she reverted to the shy, insecure girl of the first half of Rebecca in Mrs de Winter. She was scared of her own shadow and seemed to be Max's nurse instead of wife, and Max became this person who expected her to be happy and smiling all the time, someone who was meloncholy and unlikeable.
Maybe the characters became more likeable, but I couldn't finish it. I only got through five chapters before I quit.
Life is too short to waste your time on this book.
