A review by kimberly_b
Katherine by Anya Seton

5.0

Katherine has a surprisingly modern tone for being written in the 1950's. Beyond the writing, the characters are incredibly real in the sense that none of them are perfect. So often in historical fiction people are drawn in extremes being either flawless or terrible, but Seton crafts her characters (while still maintaining historical accuracy) with all the positive and negative attributes of real people. It is a beautiful novel and a modern classic.
