Review of Anya Seton's "Katherine"

I was especially interested in the beginning by the Foreword by Philippa Gregory. I have read many of her books and thought her analysis of the term "historical novel" very astute. Obviously, I particularly enjoy reading historical novels and thought that "Katherine" was most enjoyable because there was an interesting "story" woven amongst the known facts of the 12th century in England.

new favorite!

this is an old book but timeless! It is one of my new top ten reads!

A Classic!

It's so wonderful to see Anya Seton's books rediscovered! This is one that I came back to after many years and enjoyed all over again.

I can't believe it is over!!

I just finished this book and am so sad that it is over. Does anyone else know where to find more information on Katherine or John of Gaunt? Or any other good reads that focus around the same time period? I bought this book because I loved "The Other Bolyn Girl", and was not disappointed. I love books that are based on true stories and recommend this a thousand times over!

A GREAT READ

I first read this novel in the early 70's while in college and was enthralled with it then, as much as now. I just re-read it, and again, the love story and the historical background are rich in detail and full of enjoyment. Now, I've been inspired by this to read more historical fiction. Thanks to the reviewers here online, I've gotten many good ideas on my "list" of books to read.
