MEDIA REVIEWS
Retains all the brooding menace and enigmatic mystery of the originalThe oustanding virtue of Mrs de Winter is the elegance of its style... Susan Hill,winner of both the Somerset Maugham and Whitbread prizes,ignores the lush emotionalism of the original,sacrificing psychological menace for a fresh,modest lyricism which suits both her story and her times...dignified and respectfulSplendid... A very good ghost storySusan Hill's imagination is a force to be reckoned withDone excellently,with professionalism and panache
