5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Read, September 14, 2000

This review is from: The Landower Legacy (Hardcover)

My mother bought me my first Victoria Holt novel, "Bride of Pendorric," when I was in about seventh grade. I read "Landower Legacy" a few years later and enjoyed it much more than any of her other novels. I loved the character Caroline Tressidor. She is strong willed, independent, and right from the beginning of the story it is easy to see that she differs in EXTREME ways from her sister Olivia. She is not one to be taken advantage of, although she did make one mistake concerning a young gentleman early in her life...When she goes to visit her aunt as a young child, she encounters the Landower brothers who live nearby. She is very taken with Paul, although at 13 years old cannot do anything about it. Four years later when she returns to see her aunt, she again encounters Paul and this time she is old enough for something to come of it. Paul Landower is a man of mystery; he is an enigma. The tension between the two is what kept me turning the pages, both very attracted to one another and forced to stay apart...The secret concerning Caroline's past and the mystery that shrouds Paul make the novel exciting and suspenseful. Did Paul commit murder? You'll have to read to find out. Look for it at the library, it's definatly worth your time.

Victoria Holt is a pure & genuine aurthoress and her book The Landower Legacy is certainly proof of that. It has become and will continue to be a book that is enjoyed by all walks of life & all generations, now & to come. Thank You Victoria Holt!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Landower Legacy, December 2, 2009

By

This review is from: The Landower Legacy (Hardcover)

It's funny that I saw another review that said "one you can read over and over again and not get tired of."

This is definitely one of those. Caroline is a heroine EVERYBODY can relate to in some kind of way. The characters in this story are all so REAL. They act just as we want real people to act and they don't let us down. The tension between Paul and Caroline is richly entertaining , and just when you think all is hopeless for them, the way is paved...and they don't even have to feel guilty about it.(We all love when it works out that way don't we?)

My favorite part however is how Caroline get's a little sweet revenge on the lover that thwarted her earlier in the book....But I won't give it away!

I highly recommend this book!

Just FYI: Caroline did NOT marry Paul for money as was mentioned in another review. I noticed another reviewer also protested to this. It might have just been a title mix-up for the first reviewer. Caroline did not need any money.She was already rich by the end of the book. She married Paul for love!
