Summary: Similar to Rebecca? Sure, but you can't beat the climax!
Comment: I have been a fan of Victoria Holt on and off for years, starting when I was about 13 and continuing to this day (I am 25). They are very easy reading, so if you are expecting Faulkner, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you are in the mood for a good suspenseful book with romantic tendencies, Victora Holt is the perfect author.
Bride of Pendorric is a great example of Holt's work. A young, orphaned heroine marries into a family with a mysterious past, and she soon comes to believe that someone is trying to get rid of her. The similarities to "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier are very striking, right down to Mrs. Danvers at the window convincing the heroine to jump vs. Nurse Grey at the window convincing Favel that she is about to be pushed. (I should note that I am not sure which novel came first). However, the eventual explanation is great, and a real shocker, even if you think you know who did it!
If you are in the mood for a great gothic novel, then "Bride of Pendorric" is a good place to start.

Summary: Suspenseful
Comment: "Bride of Pendorric" definately has similarities to DuMaurier's "Rebecca," but it has elements all its own. I enjoyed the twisting plot and the book's FABULOUS climax...you'll never guess it! It is truly reminisent of the gothic novel. The characters are actually quite complex in this story, something that I don't often see in romance novels. If you liked DuMaurier's "Rebecca" or any other Victoria Holt novel, there is a good chance that you will like this book. I couldn't put it down once I began to read it. It is definately worth a few hours of your time.
