"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This classic romance novel tells the true story of the love affair that changed history--that of Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, the ancestors of most of the British royal family. Set in the vibrant 14th century of Chaucer and the Black Death, the story features knights fighting in battle, serfs struggling in poverty, and the magnificent Plantagenets--Edward III, the Black Prince, and Richard II--who ruled despotically over a court rotten with intrigue. Within this era of danger and romance, John of Gaunt, the king's son, falls passionately in love with the already married Katherine. Their well-documented affair and love persist through decades of war, adultery, murder, loneliness, and redemption. This epic novel of conflict, cruelty, and untamable love has become a classic since its first publication in 1954.

Review:

"A spirited and perceptive story of Plantagenet times." (-Chicago Tribune)

Review:

"A moving tale, and Miss Seton's most distinguished book." (-Kirkus Reviews)

I was given this book as a gift and fell in love with the picture on the jacket. What an amazing story I had never been aware of! I grew to love not only the story but the syle in which it was written and I have continued to read Anya Seton based on my experience with this book. Be aware - she uses traditional language for the time and encorporates french as well as latin into the text - which could be frustrating. I didn't want the story to end and have enjoyed reading about related times in her other historical novels.
