Summary:
Known to history as the Queen who was pushed off her throne by Anne Boleyn, here is a Katherine the world has forgotten: the enchanting princess that all England loved. First married to Henry VIII's older brother, Arthur, Katherine's passion turns their arranged marriage into a love match; but when Arthur dies, the merciless English court and her ambitious parents-the crusading King and Queen of Spain-have to find a new role for the widow. Ultimately, it is Katherine herself who takes control of her own life by telling the most audacious lie in English history, leading her to the very pinnacle of power in England.
My Thoughts:
I REALLY loved this book. Not at first though. The beginning was pretty. odd. Then it got so much better.
It was great seeing Catalina and Arthur fall in love. They got really close. It was heartbreaking when he died. I will never understand why she wanted to be Queen so bad that she lies about being a virgin.
However, Harry seemed great at first. He was so bright and cheerful, and loved Katherine. But then Anne turned him from Katherine and, well, you know what happens then. Harry beheads most of his wives in the future too.
I definitely enjoyed this book.
My Rating: 4 stars
