Listening to the audiobook in the car. Utterly engrossing, with a compelling narrator and constant twists and turns.

Charming, enchanting, absorbing

Redundant, dreary, and meandering.

Thanks to reviews on Goodreads, I started with the Lola stories. A character you come to understand as you meet her at various stages of her life.

Returning to this book which I read when it was new, & I was in junior high--a little while ago. I was curious how I would experience it.Victoria Holt was prolific; she wrote 5000 words every morning before lunch. Wanted to re-read one of her most successful books. So far, my feelings are mixed. Improbable, atmospheric, at times unintentionally funny; I admit it: I like it still!

Listening to this in the car. Beautifully read. It makes me want to keep on driving!
