Green Darkness

Reissue of a perennially popular modern classic with a new ISBN and a stunning new jacket. Brings Tudor England to life.

Anya Seton was born in New York City and grew up on her father`s large estate in Cos Cob and Greenwich, Connecticut, where visiting Indians taught her Indian dancing and woodcraft. One Sioux chief called her Anutika, which means 'cloud grey eyes', a name which the family shortened to Anya. She was educated by governesses, and then travelled abroad, first to England, then to France where she hoped to become a doctor. She studied for a while at the Hotel Dieu hospital in Paris before marrying at eighteen and having three children. She began writing in 1938 with a short story sold to a newspaper syndicate and the first of her ten novels was published in 1941. Her other novels include GREEN DARKNESS, THE WINTHROP WOMAN and AVALON. She died in 1990.

Her most intriguing and ambitious novel ... an exciting and suspenseful story -- Liverpool Post Perhaps the greatest gifts Anya Seton brings to her historical novels are the zest of her narrative, the life she breathes into the most insignificant characters and the atmosphere of the era she evokes around them. -- Books and Bookmen To read Seton is to enter into another time with such conviction that it seems as real as the present -- Philippa Gregory Seductive, atmospheric, intriguing, GREEN DARKNESS is one of those classic novels you come back to time and again. -- Kate Mosse 'Wonderful historical novels' -- Alison Weir
