I'm thinking this is HF, since she's already published a NF on Katherine.

I put in a purchase request at the library. Let's see if they get it.

I think it's just a US version of her biography of Katherine Swynford that's been published already in the UK. The same thing happened with her biography of Queen Isabella--different titles for the US and the UK.

Misfit,

I was going to ask, hadn't Weir already published a book on Katehrine Swinford?? I am positive I have been passing it over in my local library for a good few months now.
