So Long, Medieval Poetry...

Since I've had enough of Middle English poetry and feeling a little Jane Eyre-ish, Mrs. Finco gave me list of awesome books to choose from. And my next book is....wait for it........ Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. I just started yesterday and only on page nine, so I don't really have much to say about it yet. But here's a brief summary on what it's generally about:

The widower Maxim de Winter has been remarried to a younger woman. But he just can't seem to get over the death of his first wife, Rebecca. Rebecca was apparently a super awesome person/wife, so New Wife (I don't know her name yet), doesn't know if she can live up to standard set by her precedent. What's happens next? I'll let you know when I get there.

Something I found interesting was that the widower's name is Maxim de Winter. Think about it, MAXIM de WINTER. Maximum Winter? As in, will he stay forever living in a cold world without love or move on to love his second wife? I just love wordplay. Anywhoozles, I can tell this book is going to be awesome and fill you guys in as I read on, as usual. Go literature!
