I'm loving this - the brooding on the moors, the mystery around the Inn, the strength of Mary trying to deal with it all.

"Rebecca" was my first Daphne Du Maurier book and I loved it for similar reasons. Then I read My Cousin Rachel, which was meh, and then Hungry Hill, also meh. So I gave up reading her books. But I loved the BBC version of this book and decided to read it. I'm so glad I gave it a chance.

I was gifted this gift Christmas! So excited to own a copy to read at my own pace and annotate.

I last read this in elementary school (circa 1990s) and it left a favorable impression, but I've since forgotten most of the story. So it's been like reading it again for the first time! lol.

Started slow for the first 20 percent, but basically it was setting up the story by retelling P&P events from Mary's experience. It picked up once we moved past that timeline into uncharted territory.

This book is so strange- I’ve never read so much about butter +sensuality before. Not sure I’ll stick with this, but at the same time I want to know why this book was such a hit in Japan.
