Publisher's Summary

Green Darkness is the story of a great love, a love in which mysticism, suspense, and mystery form a web of good and evil forces that stretches from Tudor England to the England of the 20th century. The marriage of the Englishman Richard Marsdon and his young American wife, Celia, slowly turns tragic as Richard withdraws into himself and Celia suffers a debilitating emotional breakdown.

A wise mystic realizes that Celia can escape her past only by reliving it. She journeys back 400 years to her former life as the servant girl Celia de Bohun during the reign of Edward VI - and to her doomed love affair with the chaplain Stephen Marsdon. Although Celia and Stephen can't escape the horrifying consequences of their love, fate (and time) offer them another chance for redemption.

What the critics say

"Anya Seton has a knack of vividly painting the glory, cruelty, passion, and prejudice of long-ago days." ( Hartford Courant)

Being thrown back to the Tudor times ....

I read the book written version a very long time ago but skipped the entire middle part as it seemed cumbersome. With Audible I went through the entire book and really enjoyed it. It was like being put back in that time and could barely put it away. The narrator was superb. All the characters came alive and played out in my imagination. Can't say enough good things about this book. I love my Audible!
