She ...Celia DeBohun was actually a real person too! She is one of my ancestors, no joke. I haven't even read Green Darkness but I was doing research on my family history, and stumbled across Celia, who had died while carrying a child of the master of the manor she worked in. The mistress of the manor was jealous when she found out, of course, and she had Celia walled up in the pantry she was building. Celia never got out, her unborn child also dying with her, for there was no way for her and her child to get out. I swear I haven't read the book and I'm not making this up.Alexis Sweazynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944570901299649958.post-63884099928231356472011-01-09T21:10:35.497+00:002011-01-09T21:10:35.497+00:00I just finished Green Darkness (literally - less t...I just finished Green Darkness (literally - less than 30 minutes ago!) and couldn't wait to dig in to all the websites that have info about it. <br /><br />Your site/post is fantastic - thank you so much for doing the research and putting everything together on one page for us to dig into! :)Purgatory Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206226666250028550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944570901299649958.post-50217327516067130552010-06-17T22:24:55.884+01:002010-06-17T22:24:55.884+01:00These are great and helpful.
I finished this book ...These are great and helpful.<br />I finished this book about an hour ago and so I am checking reviews before I post on LibraryThing and my blogs.<br />This is my first book I have read by Anya Seton.<br />I began the book and got to Part 2 and decided it was not for me so decided to read the last chapter. I then thought it sounded interesting and read the whole book and the last chapter again. Actually, reading the last chapter first worked best for me.<br />It was not a page turner for me but got better about half-way through the book. I thought there were too many characters and too much happening.<br />It is a well written book and interesting bits of history.<br />Thank you for the pictures; that brings the book together. I like sketching in books when I read them and I think this would have helped the book(for me).<br />It does make me want to do some research on some of the characters.<br />LeonaLeona Olsonhttp:www.librarything.com/profile/mnleonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944570901299649958.post-44925759408054508412010-06-12T06:23:29.282+01:002010-06-12T06:23:29.282+01:00Thanks so much for the guest post and for the armc...Thanks so much for the guest post and for the armchair traveling.

I've been intrigued by Ightham Mote ever since I read how Anya Seton took a tour and learned the story of woman walled up and used it as the basis for Green Darkness. It is still one of my favorite Anya Seton novels. Didn't know about the Spread Eagle. How intriguing.Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944570901299649958.post-33575077597182185402010-06-09T00:47:16.063+01:002010-06-09T00:47:16.063+01:00I've only read Katherine by Anya Seton, but th...I've only read Katherine by Anya Seton, but thanks to this post, I will have to read Green Darkness! :)Amber at The Musings of ALMYBNENRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963815851597145235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944570901299649958.post-77725181966796163392010-06-09T00:36:46.050+01:002010-06-09T00:36:46.050+01:00I love seeing places that I've read about in r...I love seeing places that I've read about in real life!Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838072651419264066noreply@blogger.com
