Customer Reviews

Katherine Parr, no matter how many stories I read about her, I just want to shake her.

I am not 100% sure how I feel about this book, it was not a terrible book. But I am not too long in time from reading it, and to be completely honest. I barely remember the book at all, which is a shame. When I went to search for it, so I could reflect again on what I had read. . . the book mysteriously disappeared. I can not seem to find it. I spent a good hour trying to find it. I decided that I would search for her again once I do not feel the need to find her now. What I remember: that Katherine was a new widow, and she just so happens to spy Thomas Seymour. He thinks she's a catch. She is unsure if she wishes to marry again. He falls in love, proposes. She does not know for certain if that is what she wants, but deep down she does. Thomas then goes to his brother in law which just so happens to be Henry VIII. Henry is butthurt that Katherine Howard did not work out, and laments his status of "never finding a lasting wife". Thomas makes the very stupid mistake of mentioning his inclination to marry and brags about Katherine Parr. His bragging leads to Henry meeting with Katherine and him "falling in love" with her. He asks her to marry him. She doesn't want to marry Henry and regrets not marrying Thomas right away. She knows she does not have a choice and marries Henry. Then it goes through their marriage and her being a very strong protestant and her desire to debate with Henry. It mentions the plot to take Katherine down, her "rescuing" herself from a death warrant. It does not mention her pregnancy, barely mentions Elizabeth or Jane Grey.
