Summary
Title taken from Mad Girl’s Love Song by Sylvia Plath
Mrs de Winter doesn’t have a maid - until she does. After all, Mrs Danvers has experience being the lady’s maid to the Mistress of Manderley; why have a younger girl do it, when there’s someone standing right in front of her who already knows how?
I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked.

Summary
I watched Frith dial the number to Maxim’s office before taking the phone from him. It rang and rang, and I waited impatient and terrified. Finally I heard a click, and then, “Mrs de Winter.” Frank’s voice, dear loyal Frank.
“What’s happened?” I asked, “Where is Maxim?”
A pause. “I don’t think-,”
“Frank. Where is he?”
Frank’s voice sounded tinny and far away when he answered, or maybe my ears had stopped working. “Gone, Mrs de Winter. He’s gone.”
Rebecca’s boat and body were found; with it came an inquest, an investigation. Maxim confessed to his crime, then fled in the night.
It’s just like a man, I thought furiously as I hung up the phone, to refuse to take responsibility for his actions and run from the consequences. Damn him, and damn Frank too; damn them all. I would not run.

Summary
It's about two flawed people who love each other fully despite everything, who have their walls down with each other, who learn how to be vulnerable and give themselves in every way, who prioritize the other's happiness above their own and do everything in their power to make it happen.
As summarised by my dearest Sanda_Brask
