Bride of Pendorric

De: Victoria Holt

Narrado por: 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!

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.

Love The Mysterious Brilliant Storyline! A MUST!

Favel Farrington was so delightful and positive. It was amazing to listen to this story. The tragedy she goes through is unbearably, losing her mom and dad was sad. Her dad knowing who Roc Pendorric was before she married him was a little sad too. I loved there were children twins who kept her on her toe after moving to the idyllic Mediterranean island of Capri. So glad she found her grandpa, but then he dies too. I loved how the story went into detail about her life and the children of her sister-in-law. The story goes on to end in a very good way even though she found out about the two older twin sisters! What a brilliant book. I absolutely love her stories of these strong women.

The end will surprise you and you will not want to shut the audio or put the book down!! If I could give it 100 stars I would!! :-)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO READ OR LISTEN TO THIS FASCINATING BOOK!!!! Brilliant Book!!!
