My questions and the first impression of the book.

The book starts with the story of a woman.I still didn't understand how old she is.She is telling us about her youth.She also tells us about the man. His name is Max de Winter ,I guess he is her husband,who is a very strange and reserved person.They had met when he was in a difficult situation ,his wife died and he had a depression.He owned the estate Manderley,it is also a mysterious place for me,he had been living there for a long time with his wife Rebecca,I guess that Rebecca is his wife's name ,who is dead ,but the cause of her death is unclear for me.So I exactly know that after his wife's death Maх de Winter lives with this very woman(who tells us the story) in a little hotel,and they don't want to return to the Manderlay.

I have a lot of questions :who is his wife?why does this book calls Rebecca if the woman who starts this story is not Rebecca exactly?what secret is kept in the estate Manderley?and what will be farther with this woman , what is her role in this book?

Last year I came into university library to take some book in English to read.I asked the librarian to advise me something not difficult and interesting. She advised me this very book- Daphne du Maurier "Rebecca".I took it but unfortunately I had no time to read it because of my homework.This year when we were given a task to read a book in English I didn't know what to choose.because there are a lot of interesting books in the world. Then I remembered the book which had been lying on my shelf already for a year and I decided to read it now.I can exactly say that I haven't regreted about my choice.
