Rebecca’s Tale

On the twentieth anniversary of the death of Rebecca, strikingly beautiful first wife of Maxim de Winter, family friend Colonel Julyan receives an anonymous parcel in the post. It contains a black notebook with two handwritten words on the title page – Rebeccas Tale – and two pictures: a photo graph of rebecca as a young child, and a postcard of Manderley. Rebecca once asked Julyan to ensure she was buried in the churchyard facing the sea: if she ended up in the de Winter crypt, she warned, she’d come back to haunt him. Now, it seems, she has finally kept her promise.
