À propos de cet audio
"Exhilarating, exuberant, and rich," Katherine is an epic novel of a love affair that changed history—that of Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, the ancestors of most of the British royal family (Austin Chronicle).
Set in the vibrant fourteenth century of Chaucer and the Black Death, the story features knights fighting in battle, serfs struggling in poverty, and the magnificent Plantagenets—Edward III, the Black Prince, and Richard II—who rule despotically over a court rotten with intrigue. Within this era of danger and romance, John of Gaunt, the king’s son, falls passionately in love with the already-married Katherine. Their affair persists through decades of war, adultery, murder, loneliness, and redemption.
Anya Seton's vivid rendering of the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Lancaster makes Katherine an unmistakable classic.
“An inspiration and the benchmark by which I judge historical novels.”—Alison Weir
©2000 Anya Seton (P)2021 HarperCollins PublishersBennett’s male voices are just so grating, they almost always pulled me out of the story - most are nearly identical and are really just a very crackly growl. I don’t know a man who speaks this way, to be honest. I would have much preferred just her normal speaking voice.
