"Rebecca". Daphne du Maurier

      The first book that I've read this school year is "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier. It's published by Pearson Education Limited in association with Penguin Books Ltd. This year I chose a higher reading level- upper-intermediate. So that book has 2300 words. Book itself has 101 pages.
      This book is about de Winter's- Maxim and her new lovely wife (whose name isn't mentioned in the book). There's always a dark shadow of Maxim's dead first wife Rebecca on them and it's on their way in order to live happily. But then Rebecca's sunken boat will be found and everything keeps going even more worse, especially for new Mrs de Winter, as new fact's comes forth about Rebecca's death. As her husband says to her: "I can't forget what it has done to you. It's gone for ever, that funny, young, lost look that I loved.""...It's gone, in twenty-four hours. You are so much older..."
      I enjoyed reading it. It was very interesting, mysterious and catching book. I'd recommend it to everyone. Almost every page of it had something different and interesting about the whole story. The reading level was "new" to me, too. It wasn't as easy as reading books on intermediate level, it was more challenging I think, but not difficult. It's my level of reading at the moment I think.
