As a high school girl, back in the early 1950s, I read Rebecca as most girls did if they were readers. I hated it and although now, if I did not like a book, I will not finish it, at that time, I thought that if one began a book, one needed to finish it. Now that I have read Sally Beauman's "Rebecca's Tale," I am glad that I have a distant memory of Rebecca. I think that Ms Beauman has given the reader an excellent picture of what had gone on in the deWinter household for several generations and how Rebecca fit in and actually changed what might have happened, not particularly in a good way. I liked this book very much. I was raised to feel that women needed husbands and although my life is good even without one, I liked very much the way the book ended.
