Good lord. That cover would put anybody off Anya Seton for life.
Thanks for all the comments on A.S's other books. I admit I've only read "Katherine," which I adore, and neglected the others because American history never interested me much. But seeing how many of them get top recommendations here, I'll take another look.

'The Best of Anya'
I'm particularly fascinated by Roman Britain (love Rosemary Sutcliff's novels set in this period), and i guess I was hoping for something with the breadth of Avalon, which is set in the later post-Roman period, or Pauline Gedge's wonderful Eagle and the Raven.
Found an old MMPB edition of Katherine at the USB and scanned the front and back images. Is she just a pouty face or what?

IMHO I think Katherine, The Winthrop Women and Devil Water are the best.
