Rejacketed alongside Air and Angels, The Mist in the Mirror and The Woman in Black to create a set of Susan Hill's most absorbing, enchanting and unsettling backlist titles.

Rebecca was Daphne du Maurier's most famous and best-loved novel.

But what happened next?

Married to the sophisticated, wordly-wise Maxim, the second Mrs de Winter's life should be happy and fulfilled. But the vengeful ghost of Rebecca, Maxim's first wife, continues to cast its long shadow over them. Back in England after an absence of over ten years, it seems as if happiness will at last be theirs.

But the de Winters still have to reckon with two hate-consumed figures they once knew - both of whom have very long memories...

Praise for Mrs de Winter

Retains all the brooding menace and enigmatic mystery of the original

Daily Mail

Susan Hill's imagination is a force to be reckoned with

The Times

Done excellently, with professionalism and panache

Sunday Times

The oustanding virtue of Mrs de Winter is the elegance of its style... Susan Hill, winner of both the Somerset Maugham and Whitbread prizes, ignores the lush emotionalism of the original, sacrificing psychological menace for a fresh, modest lyricism which suits both her story and her times...dignified and respectful

Independent

Splendid... A very good ghost story

Beryl Bainbridge, Evening Standard

Beautifully written

Observer

Susan Hill is a wonderful writer... Mrs de Winter is magnificently atmospheric, with everything kept on the brink of the occult - revenants, haunted houses, gothic storms... Mrs de Winter doesn't only live up to Rebecca, in terms of strangeness and spooky lyricism Hill surpasses it

Roger Lewis, The Times
