7/16: squeezed in

This morning I woke up earlier than usual and so had a little extra time before I needed to head out for my round of errands. I used the time to finish My Cousin Rachel by Daphne du Maurier. I thought it was a really well-done novel, atmospheric and compelling. I looked forward to picking it up this whole week as I've been reading it. It was an extra pleasure to see how du Maurier employed, transformed--and sometimes inverted--elements which she used in Rebecca.

... Rebecca was my favorite novel while I was in high school, I was kind of infatuated by the characters and especially by the name R... now that you mentioned it I just might try to find another novel by the same author - if it is translated to Slovenian...

Hello, Meri! I loved Rebecca, too, when I was in high school; I re-read it a few years ago, and it was fun to remember how I felt when I first read it....
