Rebecca was my favorite novel in seventh grade when I first read it, and it really holds up. I read it last when the Netflix adaptation came out (I know—I agree!), and this time I was struck by the flower and garden descriptions, and how they work in the novel.
I recently read the Bronte book—so interesting!
It may not be to everyone’s taste, but I enjoyed the novel Bloomsbury Girls, in which Daphne du Maurer makes an appearance as a character.
Wow, I haven't even read the Brontë book, and I'm a huge fan of the Brontës, and of Daphne. How interesting that she makes an appearance in a novel, I didn't know that!
Great story about Daphne du Maurier! My favorite of hers is The Scapegoat. There's also a 2012 film of it, which I thought was very good (despite a couple of liberties with the plot).

So does Peggy Guggenheim—such fascinating women!

I enjoyed The Scapegoat as well. I listened to the audiobook, and I think I watched the film afterward.
Fascinating. I count her among my favorite authors of all time!
