Not as Gothic as I was lead to believe from the description, Anya Seton weaves some Gothic elements such as the brooding mansion into more of a straightforward historical romance novel describing how tenant farmers rebelled against landowners as the heroine is swept off her feet by the brooding landowner. The historical parts are quite interesting and the depictions of Nicholas and Miranda seemed well handled. It reminded me a little of GWTW crossed with Rebecca. A little dated, but the plot moves along nicely and it was an enjoyable holiday read.
