Rebecca

A shy young woman marries the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter and goes with him to Manderley, his grand house on the Cornish coast. There she finds that everything still seems to belong to his first wife, Rebecca, whose presence lingers in the rooms and in the cold loyalty of the housekeeper, Mrs Danvers. The new Mrs de Winter, never named, struggles with insecurity and growing suspicion about the marriage that came before hers. A classic of gothic suspense, the novel is admired for its atmosphere and its study of jealousy and identity.
