One of the most astonishing and poignant love stories in medieval history from internationally bestselling author Colin Falconer. What readers are saying about A VAIN AND INDECENT WOMAN "I really like all the Falconer books I've read... but this one is going to rank as my favourite. It's one-of-a-kind. "Joan of Woodstock" doesn't have the historical celebrity status of an Elizabeth I, or Catherine d'Medici; but I'm betting you'll learn something, and be entertained in the process " Shari ***** "I loved this book... This captivating historical read was filled with complex and memorable characters that brought history to life. Joan of Kent was an absolutely fascinating woman whose life and times were captured so wonderfully in this book... I read it. I loved it. I bought it. It's an historical read that shouldn't be missed."
