what age was the second mrs de winter meant to be while living at Manderlay?
Rebecca by Daphne du maurier?
Quite young early twenties probably, great book have to read it again!
Reply:She was very young...probably in her early twenties.
Reply:It's true her age and name are never revealed. But I also believe she was in her twenties. It is one of my favorite books! If you liked that, you might also enjoy The Scarlet Pimpernel.
Reply:I don't know that the novel told her age; after all DuMaurier never even gave her a name, but I would guess about 21 or 22, much younger than her middle-aged husband. The way she is described sounds youthful, no make-up and simple hairstyle. Also, companions ( her job when she met Max) were usually very young.
Reply:The book doesn't even gives her a first name !As, the book is written from her prespective,we find out very little about her.
I've always imagined her to be about 23.
One of my favourite books.
Reply:Don't know the answer I'm sorry, but I just wanted to say I'm so glad to enjoy this book with someone else.
