What is it that has kept generations of readers and viewers coming back to Manderley - to the haunting spectre of Rebecca, the chronically devoted Mrs Danvers and our nameless narrator, the second Mrs de Winter? Join our panel of female industry leaders, led by broadcaster and Guardian journalist Bidisha, as we embark on what promises to be an impassioned and lively discussion exploring the stories we tell ourselves and a gothic tale of love and obsession so packed with perils and promises including film journalist and editor Sophie Monks Kaufman and other special guests.
