Menfreya in the Morning

Victoria Holt's vivid descriptions create such a haunting mood. I wonder what real places or stories influenced her depiction of the Gothic landscape.

The slow unraveling of hidden pasts kept me hooked, but I was also curious about what motivated some of their choices. How did others interpret the characters’ hidden motives?

The social norms of the era seem to influence their actions and secrets. Did anyone else feel that the setting added an extra layer of complexity to their interactions?
