Comments on "Rebecca"

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel - it's a real page turner that gripped me from beginning to end. The story was original, fresh and exciting as you follow the lives of Rebecca North/Wythe and her "husband" Lord Nicholas Wythe in their quest for love and happiness. Rebecca met Nicholas as a child when she found and looked after him in her family's barn when he was injured during the war - even though he was a 'red coat'. Thinking that he was about to die Nicholas married Rebecca so that he could repay her kindness by leaving her his wealth. Of course he doesn't die but vanishes. It is years later when Rebecca has grown up and forgotten about the soldier she saved, that he comes to interrupt her wedding to another man... As his legal wife Rebecca has no choice other than to leave her home, family, friends and the man she thinks she loves to travel back to England with her husand to his home the Foxbridge Cloister. A very inhospitable reception awaits her - after all she's an American! Complete with an unfriendly mother-in-law who wants her son to marry a well-to-do Lady, a jealous charlatan in the form of her husband's ex-lover Clarisse who will stop at nothing to gain back her lover and became Lady Foxbridge, and an unknown scheming rival looking to take control of the Foxbridge Cloister, the action never stops right up to the last page. Once you've started reading you won't be able to stop until you find out whether or not there's a happy ending...

My Favorite book of all time

I love this book. I read it several years ago and have now began a frantic search to get my hands on the entire series. Forget the other Rebecca, this is the Classic! I have recently purchased extra copies after an extensive used bookstore seach for my sisters because we "argued" over whose book it was! I humbly beg the publishers to publish this book again! I have never met a person who read it that did not love it.

Loved it.

I have three copies of this book just in case I lose one. I have lost track of how many times I have read it but so much happens in it I'm always surprised again at the bits I've forgotten. I don't know what else to say without giving too much away except beg borrow or steal a copy of this book.
