Anya Seton's novel about her is one of the finest works of historical fiction that I've ever read.

Thank you! I just reserved that book at my local library.

That book was very central to my reading history. I was about 11/12 when I stole it from my big sister’s reading pile (16/17) and to think that it was true really blew my mind.

I know now that there’s a lot more that we know about Katherine then when the historical novel was written in the 1950’s. But Anya Seton’s book is where a lot of people first learn of her.

Edit: I corrected the decade the book was written. I read it in the late 80’s
