Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

“My favorite moody gothic story out of Cornwall. I've always been fascinated by stories where the dead are so present, where they never make an appearance or utter a word yet the living remain so consumed by them. This is a novel where the dead holds so much influence over the living characters and I love it. I enjoy rereading this one in the fall.”

“While searching to make this rec I learned there is a Rebecca for kids. First I was disturbed, then I decided it’s probably still better for them than reading Junie B Jones”

“Paired great with the Hitchcock film of the same name from 1940”
