Bride of Pendorric

By: Victoria Holt

Narrated by: Henrietta Meire

Favel Farrington meets Roc Pendorric on the idyllic Mediterranean island of Capri, where she was raised and lives with her father. Roc sweeps her off her feet, taking her from her home by an emerald sea to the ancient family home of the Pendorrics, in Cornwall. His sister and her family await them with open arms, welcoming young Favel. She is the much anticipated Bride of Pendorric, a name that amuses and flatters her.

The castle is beautiful in its way, but the atmosphere is foreboding. Roc's twin nieces begin watching her carefully; even the stones in the courtyard seem to have eyes. On the walls hang portraits of two other Brides of Pendorric-one of them Roc's mother-who died both young and tragically. Favel's fear increases as Roc seems to be growing more and more distant. Has her courtship and marriage been just a deception?

Soon Favel can no longer dismiss as accidents the strange things happening to her. Someone is trying to kill her and she must confront the very real dangers that surround her.

Great Victoria Holt

I loved all of her books. I was sad when she died and there would be no more of her books.

Fabulous!

This book was awesome! It is definitely a Gothic mystery/romance. It reminds me a lot of the story, Rebecca, with little bits of a Downton Abbey type feeling. Excellent listen!

Historical detail and story

Love Victoria Holt’s detail to historical facts and time , as well as her clean stories with mystery

Timeless

I enjoy all of Victoria Holt’s novels. I’m so glad that the Audible versions give a new generation a chance to learn about her work and an older generation the opportunity to enjoy them again.

I love Victoria Holts books

Purely a love story but with a mystery intertwined. Simply delivered but entertaining. If you like this kind of story you should read this.
