Chaucer's Triumph

Garry O'Connor has written a riveting historical novel, which brings out the passions of that paradoxically refined and savage age -- it rekindles our fascination not only with the author of the bawdy and most erotic of the 'Canterbury Tales' as well as of the rarefied love allegories of mediaeval chivalry, but also with Prince John of Gaunt, the historic sisters Philippa Chaucer and Katherine Swinford, and Scriven, the ever complaining antagonist. Authentic in background and based on close research, 'Chaucer's Triumph', in its investigation of married love and the practice of adultery, is highly relevant to the modern world.
