Reading Prompt: Unreliable narrator
Just finished "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier and you know what? I'm stunned!
Five things I like about it:
1. Unreliable narrator. A relatively rare literary device that personally I met only in Nabokov's "Lolita".
2. Suspense. It builds slowly with little details and events adding up to a bigger picture until the climax hits.
3. Eerie atmosphere. I'm not a big fan of wordy countryside descriptions, but even I was moved.
4. Symbolism. Symbols are everywhere! Manderly, a cupid, a dress, rhododendrons, a boat - sometimes I needed to pause for a moment to get a grasp on all of them.
5. Ghostly narrator. The first book in my bookworm career that describes a house haunted by memory. The protagonist is actually much more of a ghost herself than a supposed "evil" spirit.
Things that might make you think twice before you decide to add this book in your TBR list:
1. Slow start. I literally fell asleep before I made it through the first chapters. But it was certainly worth it.
2. Annoying characters. The protagonist's logic made me question her sanity from time to time, but remember not to trust her.
3.Sexist comments of Maxim de Winter. This character does not evoke sympathy. At all. I hope Daphne du Maurier created this horrible figure deliberately.
8/10. A decent read that is worth creating a post about :)
