The Pride of the Peacock by Victoria Holt

mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Victoria Holt was a staple of my young reading journey. Rather primitive, tame 'enemy to lovers' with a gothic flare. Re-reading it took me back to reading at my grand-parent's. I loved this story even if old-fashioned.
