Told by a close friend of hers, this is the story of the life of Catherine Parr after the death of Henry VIII. A tenderly moving portrait of a woman and a time.
Comparison: Philippa Gregory, Jude Morgan, Alison Weir.
Clever, sensible and well-liked, Katherine Parr trod a knife edge of diplomacy and risk during her marriage to an ageing, cantankerous King Henry. When he died, she was in her late thirties and love, it seemed, had passed her by. Until, that is, the popular Thomas Seymour – bold, handsome, witty and irresistible – began a relentless courtship that won her heart.
