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
