Written with an exciting combination of narrative flair and historical authority, this interpretation of the tragic life of Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII, breaks new ground in our understanding of the very young woman who became queen at a time of unprecedented social and political tension and whose terrible errors in judgment quickly led her to the executioner's block.

An excellent telling of Catherine Howard’s tragic story.
Reviewed: 10-16-21
Such a well researched book! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Gareth Russell brings such humanity to a life that is too often brushed off as being silly, or foolish. Previously, I had thought Catherine Howard to be the least interesting of Henry’s wives… but my opinion has changed. Such a tragic story. Very much recommend this one!
