This book was written in 1938, and is considered a classic. That said, we got to about 21-25% before deciding the (audio) book is way too slow. The unnamed main character is poor, and works as a paid companion to a high society lady. She meets the very rich Maxim De Winter, and they marry in a rush. Although we're promised a gothic story, there's just a lot of the main character being timid and unnerved by her own lack of high society skills, and she continuously compares herself to DeWinter's dead wife. Moving on to the next book!
DNF (did not finish).
