Rebecca (1938)

1. 335
   Jane Eyre por Charlotte Brontë (chrisharpe, fannyprice, ladybug74, HollyMS)

   chrisharpe: There are some similarities between these two books: a young woman marries an older widower and moves to his mansion, where the marriage is challenged by the unearthly presence of the first wife.

   fannyprice: These two books reminded me a lot of each other but Rebecca was more modern and somewhat less preachy.

   HollyMS: Since Rebecca was published, observers have noticed that it has parallels to Jane Eyre. Both are dark stories about young women who marry wealthy Englishmen.

2. 212
   My Cousin Rachel por Daphne Du Maurier (HollyMS, EllieH)

   HollyMS: Daphne Du Maurier's My Cousin Rachel has a similar theme as Rebecca.

10. 50
    Thornyhold por Mary Stewart (whymaggiemay)

    whymaggiemay: Although I believe that du Maurier was the better writer, Thornyhold and many others by Mary Stewart give the same suspenseful feeling.

    Don't Look Now por Daphne Du Maurier (Z-Ryan, cometahalley)

    Mistress of Mellyn por Victoria Holt (kraaivrouw, FutureMrsJoshGroban, nu-bibliophile)

    Freedom and Necessity por Steven Brust (bjappleg8)

    bjappleg8: first person narrative; ambiguous supernatural elements; slow unravelling of a mystery in a historical British setting

17. 20
    Vera por Elizabeth von Arnim (bell7)
18. 54
    Bride of Pendorric por Victoria Holt (kraaivrouw, nu-bibliophile)

    nu-bibliophile: Very similar but the twist in Bride of Pendorric is better and more surprising.

19. 10
    Yes, My Darling Daughter por Margaret Leroy (WildMaggie)
20. 32
    A Sucessora por Carolina Nabuco (HollyMS)

    HollyMS: When Rebecca came out, there were accusations that Daphne du Maurier had plagiarized A sucessora (The Sucessor) by Brazilian author Carolina Nabuco. Read it and decide for yourself.
