After his arrival and spending some time in Florence, Ambrose writes back to his cousin letting him know that he has met a distant relative. She turns out to be "Our Cousin Rachel" and Ambrose expressed within following letters about things such as their shared passion for gardening. The letters continue to follow and Philip is soon made abruptly aware of Ambrose marriage to Rachel. This news leaves young Philip in a state of dismay as this was completely unexpected by him.

Philip continues to receive letters that had been mailed to him by his late cousin before his death. These letters once again warn him about Rachel but his passions have blinded him to any caution. The story continues to follow the narration of Philips ever-changing opinion of Rachel. As she reveals more of herself to him, his view of her slowly but substantially changes.
The book continues to carry the reader along the rollercoaster ride that is Philip's emotions. While leaving the reader with a lingering question. Did Rachel really do it?
The 1958 movie adaption of the novel provides an excellent visual for all the events before mentioned in the book. It adheres to the original story outlined in the novel, allowing for a deeper understanding of the characters. The 2017 remake should also prove to be an even greater presentation of the tale.
