### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great storytelling
  

*by P***? on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014*

This is the first book I've read by Victoria Holt but definitely will not be the last. I love the gothic romance genre, having been a decades-long fan of Wilkie Collins.The story takes place over several years spent in England, France and exotic India during which a rector's daughter, Drusilla, deepens her relationships with the overbearing Framley family.Because she is in possession of a Indian peacock feather fan with a tragic past, she superstitiously feels as if her life has been cursed. At times throughout the story, it certainly seems to be the case.The story is long and covers several years of Drusilla's youth, but it is fast-paced and exciting.  The part of the book about her experiences in India was my favorite and the most dramatic.All the characters were well-developed, and the relationships between the characters are realistic. There is no sex between Drusilla and any of her possible love interests; however, there are several allusions to the act occurring between others. There are no descriptions of the bedroom scenes, so I would say for an adult reader, this would be considered a clean romance if not a "sweet" romance.I was content but not ecstatic about the ending. I would have liked an epilogue. It would have been nice to have a chapter covering the next few months or year. I was left wondering what was ahead for some of the side characters.I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Wilkie Collins or Jennifer Blake's clean gothic romances. It's well-written, well-researched, and an intriguing read.

    Old School Offering
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2014*

Having read a lot of Jude Deveraux, and Catherine Coulter, in recent years, I found reading a Victoria Holt historical romance a surprising experience. Her writing style seemed rather formal and dated to me. So, despite the fact that I read almost all of her novels as a young woman 30 years ago, it was rather like catching up with a familiar friend from whom I had grown distant, and being surprised at who they are now, compared to who they were.  Even though her writing seemed more formal to me than that which I am now accustomed, Holt can tell an engaging story. A couple negatives to me where that her heroine seemed a stiff and unappealing, and I must admit that I found the subsequent romance she has, to be somewhat unbelievable. Nevertheless, Holt can bring such a rich historical perspective to a fiction novel that it was worth overlooking. Still, I would recommend it to you!

    Liked it better the second time
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013*

I read a condensed version of this book many years go, and did not remember it as one of Holt's more captivating books. I bought it because I remembered little of the story and wanted to read the full book this time. I felt more connected with the characters and enjoyed the many changes of setting.  I was very surprised that I liked this more than one I read recently that had been one of my favorites in years past. I tend to like a slow build because I think it creates greater tension for the romance, and though the romance takes more of a back seat in this read, I didn't mind because I came to like Drusilla well enough that no matter what happened, I just wanted to see that she was okay. Again, as I remember in all of her novels, there are no detailed love scenes, which is how I prefer it. This one does have a pretty graphic description of a death that not only leaves a lasting picture in Drusilla's mind, but the reader's too, so take note. Overall, five stars because I will want to read it again and because I will not delete it from my Kindle to make room for something else.
