pickMy reactions to reading this in my teens and early 20s: what Gothic romance, oh, Byronic Maxim! Ah, love! I loathe Rebecca! #theylivedhappilyeverafter
My reactions as someone in her late 50s: The unreliable masochistic narrator is desperate for a father-like husband with the last name de WINTER (sterility, coldness) and a first name of Maxim (a rule of conduct) to be completely submissive to. But did I still love it? YES. #agirlcanstilldream
IndoorDame I still love it too!!! It‘s amazing how we‘re so willing to ignore the laundry list of things I‘d normally complain about and just get lost in the fantasy of it all 2mo

willaful I had a very similar reaction to My Cousin Rachel. My first read and my second read had miles apart reactions. I actually have a theory that MCR was intended as a response to Rebecca.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
