Too much tangential information

I purchased this book based on all the previous reviews. Although Katherine's journey was interesting, I found the writing to be tiresome midway through the book. There was too much extending information which distracted me from the scenes and stories set by the author. By the end, I was praying for some horrible death to befall Katherine or her precious Duke just so the novel would end and I could donate the book to my local library. This was not a 5 - star read for me.

Katherine

This is the best book I have ever read. It is a beautiful story. Read this book and enjoy every delightful page.

A poetic epic.

This is a lush and beautifully rendered book. The language is dense and evocative without seeming stilted, and the story is wonderfully engaging and full of all the things a good epic should have: romance, betrayal, death, war, tragedy, and redemption.

Oh, and a cast of thousands. But most readers won't have a problem keeping the characters straight.

My only complaint is that the omniscient POV often changes from charater to character quite rapidly, even within the course of a paragraph or two.-- "head hopping," as they say. It was a little distracting at times. Otherwise, a delicious read.

If you love history and romance, this is a great book

I love this book, it is full of English history, romance and a wonderful story. A wonderful non fiction book that will grab the reader from the first page.

Personal Favorite

I have read, re-read and now re-read again this engaging novel. Some characters haunt you until you return to them; Katrine Swynford is such a woman.
