The Rebecca Audiobook


Last November, we told you that W.F. Howes, RBmedia's UK publishing brand, was going to release 25 works by Daphne du Maurier in audiobook format, many of which have never been released as audiobooks before.

The range of work in this new collection includes Daphne du Maurier's four most famous novels, Jamaica Inn, Rebecca, Frenchman's Creek and My Cousin Rachel, as well as other novels, her short story collections and biographies.  This ambitious project will provide the most extensive collection of Daphne du Maurier's work on audio that has ever been produced.  It aims to give Daphne's work a new lease of life in audio and attract new audiences to her writing legacy.

Today, we focus on Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier's dark study of suppressed desire and tragedy.  This novel is narrated by British actress Holliday Grainger, who is probably best known for her roles in two BBC dramas, as Robin Ellacott in the television adaptations of the Strike books by J.K. Rowling and Rachel Carey in the 2019 conspiracy thriller The Capture.

Holliday Granger's clear, intuitive delivery of Daphne du Maurier's most famous novel is a triumph and certainly worth listening to.
