May's Book
Debbie is on her way to vacation, so she wanted to get a jump-start of May's book. I was debating between two; The Tipping Point and Rebecca. Because it's almost summer I was in the mood for some easy reading, so Rebecca won.
Here's the plot summary:
The story concerns a woman who marries an English nobleman and returns with him to Manderley, his country estate. There, she finds herself haunted by reminders of his first wife, Rebecca, who died in a boating accident less than a year earlier. In this case, the haunting is psychological, not physical: Rebecca does not appear as a ghost, but her spirit affects nearly everything that takes place at Manderley. The narrator, whose name is never divulged, is left with a growing sense of distrust toward those who loved Rebecca, wondering just how much they resent her for taking Rebecca's place. In the final chapters, the book turns into a detective story, as the principal characters try to reveal or conceal what really happened on the night Rebecca died. (taken from here)
I'd seen the movie a few years ago and thought it was good. I hope you enjoy.

I'm completely behind with East of Eden, but a good mystery is just what I needed for motivation to get me through it and May's book as well. Good pick Kim. Thank you!
Yes, my g'ma made me watch this with her when I was pressured to spend the night at her house the month before I got married. So I guess I shall read the book. Yahoo!
