About this product

Product Information

Katherine comes to the court of Edward III at the age of fifteen. The naive convent-educated orphan of a penniless knight is dazzled by the jousts and the entertainments of court. Nevertheless, Katherine is beautiful, and she turns the head of the King's favourite son John of Gaunt. But he is married, and she is soon to be betrothed. A few years later their paths cross again and this time their passion for each other cannot be denied or suppressed. Katherine becomes the prince's mistress, and discovers an extraordinary world of power, pleasure and passion.

    Engrossing - like travelling in time!!

    Loved this book - the story is compelling, the writing full of description and vocabulary from another era, some words from the 14th Century which I have had to look up, as well as the use and style of language from the 1950's when the book was written. Romantic, but not Mills and Boone style, quite edgy in fact considering when it was written. I've got two friends lining up to borrow it as soon as I'm finished. One of those books you mourn the end of when you finish.

    Great story. Katherine was an amazing woman!

    Well, the book I received was not the same cover as the one advertised. It seems an older copy. However I have already read this book a long time ago and loved it. I have read it twice. Unfortunately I lent the book to a friend who never returned it. I am now purchasing it again to give to another friend who has just had major surgery and as she loves historical romance I think she will love the story. I’m not sure she will like the fact that the book seems quite old.

  • Katherine by Anya Seaton

    I read My Theodosia when I was a teenager but I thought this was the only book written by the author. When I saw she'd written other books I ordered Katherine . It's a wonderful book . History that makes you feel as if you're there . Highly recommended

  • Katherine by Anya Seton

    I first read this novel many years ago and loved the story. As I was visiting Lincoln where Katherine is buried I decided to read it again. Unfortunately I haven't had time to read the book yet, apart from pages that related to Lincoln. The book looks in excellent condition and also arrived quickly.
