The India Fan

No ratings yet

The usual satisfactory romantic conclusion prevails in this excellent Holt work, which moves from Victorian England to India during the Sepoy Rebellion. Drusilla is a parson's daughter whose life is inextricably linked with the family of the great house, the Framlings. Druscilla, reluctant friend to arrogant daughter Lavinia, must frequently rescue her from the consequences of her folly (including concealing Lavinia's pregnancy and finding a home for her child). Drusilla is attracted to Fabian Framling, but suspects he wants only an illicit relationship. Summoned to India to help Lavinia with her children, Drusilla is trapped in New Delhi after the rebel takeover. Fabian saves her and the children in the end, and happy romance ensues.
