Well-researched with a realistic setting, but I have trouble finishing books about vapid characters.

excellent on every level; the detailed historical research, the characterization, the historical accuracy (where possible)…. john and katherine are portrayed so compellingly in this book, and even though their lives are not well documented, they will stick with me forever through this portrayal. even secondary characters are given their due and development, such as chaucer or some of the common folk like hawise. what a timeless epic! i will sorely miss reading this, definitely a new favorite of mine

When I read this as a teen, I thought it was the height of swoony sophisticated romance. It's still a very enjoyable read, but didn't captivate me quite as much. I did enjoy the historical context though and it confirmed my view that reading historical novels is a great way to get knowledge of different eras embedded.
