There is a character who many people argue is queer-coded. She was definitely obsessed with the deceased Rebecca, whether you want to read it as lesbionic is entirely up to the viewer.

I would not say the novel was about lesbians, though. You can frame the novel in those terms, and I'm sure some lit-crit does. To me, saying Rebecca is about lesbians is only slightly more accurate than saying Sherlock Holmes is about gays.

An instance where I'd be inclined to at least partially agree that a novel is "about queerness" is Brideshead Revisited. Rebecca, IMO, is not in that same ballpark.
