Bride of Pendorric

Great book, l could not put it down. Have recommended it to friends.

Victoria Holt books (writing style) - You either like it or not..... For me, I do like her writing style and the content of her books, as well as the characters. They are all individuals within their own rights. The stories are written in a past time period and reflects a Gothic mystic style, which, in most of her books is connected to some sort of a crime. That is what makes her books sooo enjoyable. It does not get boring. You still need to guess who is the "bad/evil" character in her story-line. The scenery most likely is connected to Cornwall sea and rocks that usually plays a big picture in the mystic entrapment of her stories. What else to say: I liked to read the Bride of Pendoric - it was easy to follow, harder than I imagined to guess the "bad person", mystic and with a hint of romance. All in all, worth reading by anybody who likes this style of books.

Not my favorite by VH, however good read. Was captivating in general and a must have if you are a fun of her books. Quick delivery and no other issue.

As seen

Again another classic from such a great writer. I read all her books nearly 2o years ago and I still read them. This one is full of supense, drama and of course romance. There are some creepy moments and this will keep you glued to the end, quite simply brillant!

A very entertaining read, great writing style ... really enjoyed it!

I started reading Victoria Holt novels some 30+ years ago and instantly liked her style."Lord of the Far Island", "Mistress of Mellyn", "Bride of Pendorric" and "Devil on Horseback" were similarly satisfying reads, but for me the "Daughters of England" series of books (ca. 20 volumes) is unsurpassed.Victoria Holt wrote "Daughters of England" under her Philippa Carr pseudonym. Volume one (Miracle at St. Bruno's) starts in the 1500's (the closing of the monasteries) and follows the same family through many generations into the 20th century. The first 5 or 6 sequels are especially good and unpredictable!

Ordered for my daughter who had to read this on her literature course and was struggling to find a copy.it arrived very promptly and she was happy

I've love this story, its twists and surprises, since I discovered Victoria Holt as a teenager! It continues to be one of my very favourites!

Je l'avais lu autrefois en français, mais le texte anglais restitue bien plus fidèlement l'atmosphère mystérieuse des Cornouailles, terre de légendes aux sublimes paysages.L'histoire est haletante et au fil du récit on est la proie d'un malaise croissant...

La trama è una "variazione sul tema" rispetto a "Mistress of Mellyn", ma si legge volentieri. Diciamo che l'idea è buona ma la scrittura, per quanto piacevole, non la sostiene...

Based on memory, I've reread this book several times. I enjoyed the whirlwind romance. The hero who came in and swept the heroine off her feet, marries her and takes her back home to meet his family. That's when things start to get really good. There's a history about the Pendoric family that is rather scary and creepy. Victoria Holt was really good at writing suspense. The heroes almost always were cloaked in mystery. Most of all I enjoyed the relationship between the two main protagonist. This is one of many excellent Victoria Holt novels. Glad to see it digitized even though it is a bit pricey.
