I HAVE READ THIS BOOK AT LEAST 8 TIMES IN THE LAST 25 YRS. EACH TIME, I FALL IN LOVE WITH IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS REALLY IS A MUST READ STORY. TRAGIC, BUT ALL ENDS RIGHT WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE. THE TRUE TRAGIC WOULD BE IF YOU, THE PBS MEMBERS, DID NOT GET ACHANCE TO READ IT.

Unbelievable ... I would give it 10 stars if I could ... I am a lover of historical fiction, and one of the best things about it is that it doesn't matter so much when the book was actually written ... Anya Seton was an amazing writer and I would recommend this book to anyone who loves history and wants a long, gorgeous tale of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and his lover, Katherine.

Excellent book. Rich characters, great storyline, moves at a reasonable pace and is very well written and historically researched.

This is my first Anya Seton books, but I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.

this gave you a detailed description of what life was life in 14th century England. It was also interesting reading about a person in history that I knew nothing about. The ending got a little more into the politics of the time. While i liked it, it was a little long at times.
