A review by mthorley23
Katherine by Anya Seton

3.0

It started out slowly as I trudged through the profuse detail. I finally got into a groove after figuring out what I could filter by scanning. It's too bad that beyond names and dates it was fiction because I was getting excited about what the Savoy castle might have actually looked like. Stinkin' peasants. Why'd they have to destroy it? It was a little on the flowery side for me (manly virility under his tunic and the like) and as much as I dislike the medieval time period (lack of education, superstitions, dirty, women were property, violent, oppressive, corrupt, etc) I was interested in the history that I learned. Afterward, I did a little of my own research online to learn a little more about the people and events in the book. So, we'll say it was enlightening.
