Description
Anya Seton is a genre-blending author whose phenomenally successful novel, Katherine, is considered a touchstone of modern historical fiction. Seton's tales feature well-researched historical detail, suspense, and romanticism, all told through polished prose. Her narrative style is swift and engrossing. Though she varies her periods (including multi-period works), Seton often chooses real historical figures around which to base her stories (e.g., Katherine Swynford, Elizabeth Winthrop, Theodosia Burr), and she "fills in the blanks," weaving her story within historical constraints, rather than creating new destinies for her characters.
