'Shatters the many myths about Henry VIII's long-suffering first wife' - Tracy Borman

A Spanish princess. Raised to be modest, obedient and devout. Destined to be an English Queen.

Six weeks from home across treacherous seas, everything is different: the language, the food, the weather. And for her there is no comfort in any of it. At sixteen years-old, Catalina is alone among strangers.

She misses her mother. She mourns her lost brother.
She cannot trust even those assigned to her protection.

“Lastly, I vow that my eyes desire you above all things.”

Como uma fã da era Tudor, eu já sabia muito sobre a vida de Katherine, mas decidi ler e não me arrependi.
Alison Weir é uma escritora maravilhosa e foi incrível ler essa história pelo ponto de vista da Katherine.
