A gorgeous gorgeous novel about Katherine de Roet, the wife of Sir Hugh Swynford and, after his death, the lover and eventual wife of John of Gaunt, the famous Duke of Lancaster. Sister in law to Chaucer and ancestress of the entire Tudor Line, Katherine is a powerfully moving figure in the history of Medieval England. This beautifully crafted novel is based on the true events of their lives and brings romance, passion, violence, loyalty, and integrity to the families of history we know so little about. Instant classic!
