## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Read!  Exceeded Expectations
*by K***R on December 18, 2014*

I don't often write reviews of items, but after reading this book, I thought it warranted one. First, I do have to say this book had a lot to live up to - "Katherine" by Anya Seton was and continues to be my favorite book, so these historical characters were very precious to me. I ended up devouring it - reading it every chance I could get. It does err a bit in my opinion on the romance side of historical fiction/historical romance. I could have used a bit more historic detail, but the author definitely did her research. What Anne O'Brien really excels at in this novel is depictions of emotional exchanges. The scenes with Katherine and John of Gaunt are very palpable and the dialogue is well written. If you're on the fence about this book and are a lover of historical fiction/historical romance, do pick it up - you will not be disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would recommend "Katherine" for those who want more description of her ...
*by P***T on July 8, 2015*

A pleasurable read. I have read "Katherine" and the more recent "Mistress of the Monarchy" about Katherine Swynford. There are very few facts about her, and this book seems to take them and invent from there. It is repetitive in some sections, but on the whole a very decent historical fiction novel. The Duke was indeed arrogant and proud, but also loyal and definitely a man of his time. Katherine is spunky and proud. I would recommend "Katherine" for those who want more description of her life at Kettlethorpe, and a deeper discussion of what penalties she might have paid for her love affair. Secondary characters are poorly fleshed, but that era was so full of turbulence and betrayals that it probably would have detracted from the basic story of two people from different backgrounds who fell in love, and the improbable (but historically true) impact of that love.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rated EXECELLENT "The Scandalous Duchess" by Anne O'BRIEN
*by C***N on March 30, 2014*

While weaving through historical accuracy, Anne O'BRIEN gives a wonderful story of John GAUNT, Duke of Lancaster's relationship the Katherine de SWYNFORD, the widow of Sir Hugh de SWYNFORD. Born Katherine de ROET, the daughter of Sir Giles de ROET she was not of royal blood; but was raised by John's mother and had lived among the LANCASTER nobles most of her life. Anne O'BRIEN captures the hardness and the tenderness of Katherine's life who undoubtedly completely loved John on ever level of his being while being willing to sacrifice parts of her very being in order to share her life with him. Anne also captures Katherine's sister, Philippa (married to the famous Geoffrey CHAUCER) emotions and tribulations. VERY well done. :)
