I just finished reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier for Laura's Reviews All About the Brontes Challenge. It is similar to Jane Eyre in that the young heroine falls in love with an older man, whose dark secret keeps them apart. While the young heroine remains nameless throughout the novel, it is the first Mrs. de Winter, Rebecca, who drips off every page, even though she has been dead for nearly a year. It is a beautiful story where the haunting is not supernatural but instead lives in the minds of those who live at Manderley. Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation is, also, worth watching.
