Historical romance at its best--The World View in Novels
This book as been described as one of the best historical romances. And it is. The reason is Seton's ability to believably capture the "world view" of her characters. Many times I have started an historical novel only to throw it aside in...

I can't believe I have lived so long without reading this book!
This book is a treasure. I love historical fiction and "Katherine" has everything. It's characters take you through the lives of Katherine and John of Gaunt with the flavor of the fourteenth century.

Ready for a time warp to the English middle ages?
This is an exquisitely written story. The characters, even the minor ones, are beautifully developed. The descriptive powers of Ms. Seton are the best in the genre. You can touch, hear, see, smell, and taste the time in which Katherine Swynford...

Falls short of Expectation
Katherine is no doubt a wonderful novel with excellent description of England in the 14th Century. However, in my opinion, the story fell short in comparison to the summary I read on the back of the book. Characters in the novel were well...

Superb Historical Writing
I think if I had to choose my favorite book out of tens of thousands, it would have to be this one. This author had incredible imagination coupled with outstanding literary skills. Never have I read a book that makes me visualize the late 1300s...
