{"product_id":"katherine","title":"Katherine","description":"“An inspiration and the benchmark by which I judge historical novels.”—Alison Weir\n\"Exhilarating, exuberant, and rich,\" Katherine is a sweeping historical romance and 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).\nSet 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 royal 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, a classic of forbidden love, persists through decades of war, adultery, murder, loneliness, and redemption.\nAnya Seton's vivid rendering of the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Lancaster makes Katherine an unmistakable classic of medieval romance.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0544222881\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0544222881.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Seton, Anya\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
