![]() ![]() ![]() Since then, I’ve read it again at least a dozen times, once very recently. Aside from genuine astonishment over how many books I packed away that year between work and school and boyfriends, one fact stands out rather dramatically: I read Green Darkness six times. The year I was fifteen, I kept a reading diary. I own two copies, battered and yellowed, so I can loan one out and never be without one. It is not just my favorite Anya Seton, or my favorite romantic historical of the period, but one of my top five favorite books of all time. My favorite is Green Darkness, which spent six months on the New York Times bestseller list the year it was published. I’ve sat in many a happily heated discussion of which book is better, and why, and by now I can usually pick out who will like which book best. Western historical romance writers often confess an early love of Louis L’Amour and Zane Gray.Īmong a certain set, two books by Anya Seton stand out: Katherine and Green Darkness. Romantic suspense writers point to Mary Stewart and Victoria Holt. ![]() Regency writers will pick out Georgette Heyer. Whenever a group of romance writers turn to the subject of influential books, certain writers and books come up over and over again. ![]()

Perhaps they are in the sequels, but his abrasive character doesn't entice me to find out.
