It's the second week of Jane Eyre July --
where the book recommendations are related somehow to Jane Eyre!
This week -- Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier.
An interesting fact (at least to me) -- a made for television movie was made from Rebecca in 1979 with Joanna David as the second Mrs. DeWinter. Another version was made in 1997 with Joanna David's real-life daughter Emilia Fox playing the second Mrs. DeWinter!
