Katherine257 reviews
Anya Seton
Chicago Review Press, 2004
Katherine is a multi-read through the years
+ Interesting but sometimes annoying
+ one of the first, and still one of the best!
Read it first in high school English (1968) and still re-read it. Excellent Historical Fiction which will probably snag you on Anya Seton's writing.
I recommend The Winthrop Woman as well. And Theodesia.
