Katherine by Anya Seton

Historical Fiction - 4 stars - This is the really complicated love story of the 14th century's Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. These ancestors of the Tudor and Stuart blood lines started out a little rocky, became pretty despicable, and redeemed themselves in the end. I enjoyed the intricate stories, and I can see now why it was a much-documented affair. Ms. Seton was a historical fiction writer from the 1950s, and I must say, she had great talent. Her work is comparable to Philippa Gregory's writing. This makes me want to read her other works.
