From AudioFile:

This sequel to Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca follows the De Winters as they pick up the pieces of their lives after the fire which destroyed Manderly. Many characters from the original text reappear and continue to wreak havoc in the life of the tender heroine. The melodrama of the tale is echoed by Lisanne Cole, whose reading perfectly suits the plot. Cole gives the listener a reading that soars and dives along with the fortunes and moods of the heroine. The brief musical subtext at the end of each side adds considerably to the haunting effect. R.B.F. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
