Katherine – Anya Seton

Katherine - Anya Seton
Katherine – Anya Seton

I devoured any and all of Anya Seton’s novels that I could lay my hands on in my later teenage years.

Returning to Katherine, her telling of the story of Katherine de Roet, later Lady Swynford, and John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, I found it less enthralling and more of a Mills & Boon mediaeval romance; a lengthier version of an Elizabeth Chadwick historical novel, with a slightly later, 14th century Plantagenets, setting.
