Six Tudor Queens 6: Katharine Parr the Sixth Wife by Alison Weir

Renowned, bestselling historian Alison Weir reveals a warm, clever woman of great fortitude who rose boldly to every turn her life took. 

History tells us that she survived. This extraordinary novel shows us that she truly lived.

A woman torn between between love and duty.

Two husbands dead, a boy and a sick man. And now Katharine is free to make her own choice. The ageing King's eye falls upon her. She cannot refuse him... or betray that she wanted another. She becomes the sixth wife - a queen and a friend. Henry loves and trusts her. But Katharine is hiding another secret in her heart, a deeply held faith that could see her burn...
