She was made a Dame Commander in the order of the British Empire in 1969. She hated city life, so she lived in Cornwall ,southwest England of the Atlantic coast for a long time.

Jack Favell, Rebeccas first cousin, has an affair with Rebecca Main Content The feature of ‘Rebecca’ 1.Daphne Du Maurier successfully created Rebecca, a mysterious women. In fact, she had died at the beginning of the novel, except mentioned in flashback paragraph , but readers can feel her everywhere. 2.The story is narrated in first person, which makes the readers feel personally on the scene. 1.Communication and trust are very important in love, the lack of communication and trust can lead to many misunderstanding and do harm to each other. 2.Don’t be misled（迷惑） by one’s charming face only, it can’t last forever, instead, pay more attention to his inside quality. *
