A review by kayscr33klibrarian
The Pride of the Peacock by Victoria Holt

3.0

I had not read this book since high school and it was fun to pull out my old copy and reread it. To make my experience more complete I also put on my opal ring that I bought on my 17th birthday after reading this book and being fascinated by opals.

I can't say that we had a long discussion about this book at book club, but it was enjoyable hearing about past memories we had of this book. We also discussed opal mining.

This book has an interesting mystery (surprisingly, I actually remembered who the "bad guy" was) and an interesting plot. It was a great clean romance book to read as a teenager.
