i know that the book is not by the same author, but it is part two to Daphne Du Maurier's "Rebecca". i used to know what it was, but then i forgot it. so i know it's out there, i just need help remembering what it is. can anyone help?
Does anyone know the name of the second book to "rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier? its not by the same author.
There are actually two different books. The first is actually a sequel--"Mrs. Dewinter" by Susan Hill Long. I don't think this one received very good reviews. Here is an Amazon.com link:

The other one, which was meant to be a companion book, not a sequel, is "Rebecca's Tale" by Sally Beauman. Here is a link at Amazon.com

I have always been afraid of reading both because I liked "Rebecca" so much. I don't know if anything could follow up the original. In any case, the ending of the Rebecca was such that I didn't think a sequel was necessary. I wanted to imagine my own possibilities.
Reply:"Mrs Dewinter" by Susan Hill Long

"Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This sequel to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca depicts the further adventures of Maxim de Winter and his second wife.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Library Journal
What happened to Maxim de Winter and his second wife after Manderley burned? This suspenseful "completion" of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca begins with the couple's return to England, following a ten-year, self-imposed exile, for the funeral of Maxim's sister Beatrice. In a voice true to the original story, Hill's Mrs. de Winter chronicles Rebecca's continuing shadow on their life: a mysterious wreath bearing a card with the initial "R" is discovered near Beatrice's grave, and unwelcome visitors include Jack Favell, who has visions of blackmail, and Mrs. Danvers, who seeks revenge. The narrator's happiness with Maxim is threatened by his first wife's invasive presence. Can she protect him from the past, or will Rebecca's murder be avenged? Sure to please du Maurier fans, this is highly recommended for public libraries. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 6/15/93."
Reply:Yes the title is simply..."Mrs. DeWinter"
Reply:There's also Rebecca's Tale by Sally Beauman, sanctioned by the Estate as the sequel.
