Review: The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd

Sarah is from a wealthy family in pre Civil War South Carolina….one of the ‘first families’ in fact.

Review: The India Fan by Victoria Holt
Blackmail. Murder. Scandal. Lies. Deceit. Romance. Adventure. This book has it all! Growing up, I loved Victoria Holt but sadly I haven’t read her in a number of years…..nor have I read many of her novels. But she is the queen of a genre that calls to me–the gothic romance genre. When I saw The India Fan on Amazon, I knew it was time to it up this talented authoress again and see if she could still seduce me with her tales of suspense. Drusilla Delany is the rectors daughter and has always grown up in the shadow of Framling House and the Framling family. Fabian Framling has always been…
