What is the name of the heroine of Daphne DuMaurier's book "Rebecca"?

She is never named, only being known as Mrs de Winter (or the second Mrs de Winter!).





"Over the years many people have asked why the second Mrs de Winter does not have a name. Daphne du Maurier’s reply to this was that she could not think of one and it became a challenge in technique to write the whole story without naming her. It proved to be a very effective way of making the character appear to be a lesser person than Rebecca, so that she is less confidant, less capable, less attractive to Maxim, not even a significant enough person to be named."

Reply:I just read that for school - she was never named.
Reply:Ive only seen the film, havent read the book, but I believe the movie follows the naming, and that she is only ever known as "Mrs. De Winter"
