Why read it?
1 author picked Crown in Candlelight as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My mother was a great reader and she introduced me to this beautifully written take on the love story of the Welsh squire Owen Tudor and Katherine, lonely young widow of Henry V.

From Caroline's list on historical fiction that don't disappoint in romance.
