![]() Local legend has it that Barbarina’s ghost is waiting for another Bride to come and take her place-in death.īride of Pendorric is obviously a twist on the Rebecca story-except instead of the dead former wife, it’s a dead former mother-in-law that’s the ghost! Victoria Holt’s novels are characterized by a wonderful sense of foreboding, starting with the very first page, and I’m glad to say that it’s not lacking here. For many years ago, a Bride of Pendorric died tragically at a young age, as did Roc’s mother, Barbarina. The family are all eager to welcome her-but there’s something sinister going on at Pendorric. Favel Farrington, the daughter of an artist, is literally swept off her feet by Roc Pendorric, who takes her to his family’s ancient estate in Cornwall. ![]()
