Changes

We cannot read Katheryn's story against modern standards, because society is too different, but even compared against the other high born ladies of the time it seems that Katheryn was dealt a poor hand, but managed to live most of her life with a laugh and a smile and a positive outlook. Even when thrust into the pressure cooker of Court life she managed to make the ever-cantankerous Henry briefly happy, but the reader cannot help feel sympathy for poor Katheryn who seemed to be doomed from the moment her mother died. This is a beautiful and well-written account of Katheryn's life, from a different perspective; and I would recommend it for young adult readers upwards. It is a wonderful novel and well worth reading. For something similar you could also read [[Six Tudor Queens: Anna of Kleve, Queen of Secrets by Alison Weir]] or for something different you could try [[Frieda by Annabel Abbs]].
