Katherine – Wanda McCaddon – 25hrs 30min
This classic romance novel tells the true story of the love affair that changed history—that of Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, the ancestors of most of the British royal family for the next 300 years.
Set in the vibrant 14th century of Chaucer and the Black Death, the story features knights fighting in battle, serfs struggling in poverty, and the magnificent Plantagenets—Edward III, the Black Prince, and Richard II—who ruled despotically over a court rotten with intrigue. Katherine came to the court of Edward III at the age of 15: the orphan daughter of a minor nobleman, betrothed to an obscure knight. And soon, became the beloved mistress of the King’s son and the mother of his children.
Their well-documented affair and love persist through decades of war, adultery, murder, loneliness, and redemption. This epic novel of conflict, cruelty, and untamable love has become a classic since its first publication in 1954.
