Katy Reads Rebecca So You Don't Have To | Part 1 (FREE Preview)4 nov32 min

A mysterious mansion, a dead wife, a deeply insecure narrator, and a housekeeper who is absolutely NOT helping. Welcome to Rebecca, queens!

In this special main-feed episode, Katy kicks off her Katy Reads the Classics So You Don't Have To series on Daphne du Maurier's 1938 gothic classic, Rebecca.

We start with a little biography of du Maurier, including the real-life mansion that inspired Manderley, before diving into the first three chapters. We're meeting our nameless narrator, the insufferable Mrs. Van Hopper, and the mysterious, wealthy, and possibly walking red flag Maxim de Winter.

Expect spoilers, literary gossip, questionable men, and plenty of unsolicited opinions.

Normally $10, you can grab the complete collection for just $5 for a limited time!
