“I wish I hadn’t discovered all this. I just thought the doctor died & the family dispersed. All these years, I have known nothing about this.” ….Because you’re a moron, Carmel. Even if you missed the undercurrents as a child, you’re like 19 now. You’ve sailed around the world with your dad & lived in rough-edged Australia for years. There’s no excuse for not guessing some of this stuff. 🙄

Zzzzz. 😴 Definitely not one of Holt’s better books.

“Carmel, I am your father.” ….Thus surprising nobody with the most obvious twist in Victoria Holt’s entire backlist.

Awful lot of words to say “I’m a foundling, & the bitchy invalid wife of my adopted family was murdered when I was young. It wasn’t my fault.”

You can already tell who Carmel’s real mom & dad are. Yikes. 😶 Apparently this was Holt’s final book, & it shows…it’s a rather flat + repetitive narrative that in no way compares to her earlier works.

Out of all my unread Holts, this & ‘Pride of the Peacock’ are tied as Most Probably Blah Not-Keepers. But since I’ve got 2 editions of this one (oops—not sure how that happened 🫢), it has the honor of going first.

She sees the governess sneaking into the master’s bedroom at night, ffs. The master’s wife is an invalid & the governess has suddenly got knocked up. GEE, I WONDER! 😱
