The Katherine of the title is Katherine Swynford, mistress of Edward III’s son John of Gaunt. It was my first introduction to her work and, in fact, I think it was the first book I read that dealt with real historical figures rather than fictional characters in a historical setting. This is probably Seton’s most famous novel. I have read six Anya Seton novels, although she was an author I discovered years before I started my blog, so I don’t have reviews to link to for most of these books.
She died in 1990 aged eighty-six, having written twelve novels, some of which were bestsellers and some which were adapted for film. Last month, I looked at the work of Elizabeth Chadwick this month it’s the turn of another historical fiction author: Anya Seton.Īnya Seton was the pseudonym of Ann Seton Chase, an American author born in Manhattan in 1904. Welcome to my monthly post on all things historical fiction.
