Thursday, July 8 @ 7:00 pm
This month's book is Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. "Last Night I Dreamt I went to
Manderley Again..." With these words, the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone mansion
on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events
that transpired as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she barely knew. For in
every corner of every room were phantoms of a time dead but not forgotten—a past devotedly
preserved by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers: a suite immaculate and untouched, clothing
laid out and ready to be worn, but not by any of the great house's current occupants. With an
eerie presentiment of evil tightening her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter walked in the shadow of her
mysterious predecessor, determined to uncover the darkest secrets and shattering truths about Maxim's first wife—the
late and hauntingly beautiful Rebecca.
Our meeting will be held outside, so please bring your own seating.
