Well, historic fiction has high standards of writing creativity and since I am looking at books that don\'t waste much time in my new endeavour of work in financial services, I search for titles which are bestsellers and moreover teach the craft effectively. I am enjoying reading a masterpiece called \'Rebecca\' written by Daphne Du Maurier (1938).The novel follows an unnamed, timid young woman—the second Mrs. de Winter—who marries a wealthy widower, Maxim de Winter, after a whirlwind romance in Monte Carlo. They return to his Cornish estate, \'Manderley\'. \'Manderley\' is more than just a house; it is a character in its own right. Du Maurier’s prose brings the estate to life with sensory details—the \"blood-red\" rhododendrons, the gray stone walls, and the roar of the sea. The language is ornate and prose rich and verbose. It transcends romance genre and is a brilliant study of social class. I am still in the process of reading middle chapters but the fact that I have become a sensitive and receptive fan of someone everything is a bewilderment these days like a wide eyed teenager in western movies having wavy long hair and in awe of a girl.P.S : I apologise for inappropriate use of a term in an earlier post.
