The decision to use the Setons' homes as a way to organize a narrative of their lives, a way to filter their motives and emotions, was a relatively easy one for this biographer, although not one with an immediate logic other than sheer visibility.
The elder Setons were undoubtedly influenced as well by the cultural wanderlust and the immigration patterns of the America of their time.
Grace Gallatin Seton, at first content to be her husband's editor, proofreader, and publicist, soon discovered that she too had stories to tell, and from the first, her books were never only about traveling but also about being a woman traveler, usually with an understanding of travel as a male prerogative.

"Seton's use of language, the crisp descriptions, the depth of emotions shown subtly growing to an almost unbearable pinnacle." —Barbara Samuel, a.k.a.
Anya Seton draws us deeply into her world, filled with schemes, ambition, and lies; and with ghosts, madwomen, superstitions, and a particular, notorious Celtic witch.
However, this gripe is sort of offset by the kudos I must give to Seton for having a sympathetic gay character in her novel--especially considering the date of publication.

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.
Seton writes beautifully and with an understanding of human nature that is heartrending.
And, as an adult, I find much to appreciate in the frankness of language and the care Seton uses to draw the bawdy world of Elizabethan England.

I would love to adorn another Five-star rating to the Five-star author that is Anya Seton but in the case of her first novel, "Dragonwyck" I don't think it would be a fair accolade.
You want to take hold of Miranda and shake her to try and rouse some sense into her romantic disillusionment and you want to get a red pen and rewrite the character of Nicholas here and there to make him a bit more believable.
That said, if you are a fan of Anya Seton you will probably enjoy it but not so much as her subsequent ones.
