Critic reviews

"This brilliant series has brought Henry VIII's six wives to life as never before. This novel will enthral and inspire, just as much as it will break your heart." (Tracy Borman)

"Katharine Parr deserves better than to be known just as Henry VIII's sixth wife - the one who survived. And there's no-one better placed than Alison Weir to restore her to her rightful place." (Sarah Gristwood)

so interesting

I enjoyed the early part of the story of Katherine's life and I know it is fiction but some of it will be based in fact. Most of the books about the Tudors only focus on the lives of the queens when they married Henry the eighth.
