I love Victoria Holt. Her books are always well-researched and take the reader to far flung places. This book is not one of those, unfortunately. That's probably why it's under a different name, but the writing also wasn't as good. It was more stilted and pretentious. Maybe that was on purpose, since the reader was supposed to be peeking at 2 girls diaries, but the girls should have gotten more mature voices as the years passed. Instead, the narrative dragged a bit. And the end... well, I won't spoil it but it was ridiculous.
