KATHARINE by Anya Seton (1954)Read about the other books on the list.
Still my all-time favourite historical novel and I know that many people feel the same way about it. It charms me as much now as it did when I was 15, and it inspired me back then to write historical fiction. It’s a benchmark for the genre and vividly evokes the world of the 14th century.
