Review: I ENJOY HISTORICAL NOVELS AS A RULE THAT IS THE REASON I READ IT. I FOUND SOME INFORMATION ABOUT INDIA & INDIAN CUSTOMS INCORRECT-ROSHANARA & ASRAF ARE MUSLIMS AS THEIR NAMES INDICATE-ASRAF's FATHER GREAT KHANSAMAH WOULD BE A MUSLIM ALSO-UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES HE WOULD BURN HIS SON's BODY ON A PYRE AS MUSLIM'S BURY THEIR DEAD-THEREFORE ROSHANARA CANNOT BE A SUTEE. THIS HORRIBLE CUSTOM WAS ONLY PERFORMED BY HIGH CASTE BRAHMINS & RULING CLASS HINDUS. I HOPE THIS REVIEW IS PASSED ON TO THE WRITER SO SHE DOES NOT MISINFORM HER READERS WHO DO NOT KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT INDIA & OTHER COUNTRIES & THEIR CUSTOMS.

Summary: A cursed peacock feather fan......
Review: I read this book on a car tip and wasn't able to put it down, I was so into the story. Fabian, Drusilla, Lavinia, and the other characters are so real. You travel from England to France, then back to England, and finally to India. I would have liked to learn more about Miss Lucielle, but all in all this book was great! I recommend all Victoria Holt books...I'm 13 and I love them! I'm also into V.C. Andrews, and Victoria Holt's style was almost like VCA's.

Summary: The Indian Fan
Review: I read this book years ago when it was first published. I loved it. I just recently reread it. I still love it. It is well written, compelling, and surprisingly believable. The characters have full, round personalities, resembling people I know in real life. It is one of my favorate books and by far my favorate romance novel. If you only read one Victoria Holt novel, read this one.
