Description
'This brilliant series has brought Henry VIII's six wives to life as never before. This novel will enthral and inspire, just as much as it will break your heart' TRACY BORMAN
Alison Weir, historian and author of the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling SIX TUDOR QUEENS series, recounts the story of Henry VIII's last wife - Katharine Parr, the queen who survived him.
---
A WOMAN TORN BETWEEN LOVE AND DUTY.
Two husbands dead, a boy and a sick man. 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 Henry's sixth wife - a queen and trusted friend. But Katharine is hiding another secret in her heart, a deeply held faith that could see her burn...
KATHARINE PARR. HENRY'S FINAL QUEEN. HER STORY.
Renowned, bestselling historian Alison Weir reveals a warm, clever woman of great fortitude who rose boldly to every turn her life took.
'Katharine Parr deserves better than to be known just as Henry VIII's sixth wife - the one who survived. And there's no-one better placed than Alison Weir to restore her to her rightful place' SARAH GRISTWOOD
'The conversations are sparkling, gripping and word-perfect. As King Henry ages, the machinations of his vicious court are never far away' HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY
'For the first time I felt as though, thanks to Alison's skilful writing and storytelling, I came to "know" Katharine' NICOLA TALLIS
'A tour de force. If you think you know everything about Henry VIII's last queen, you're in for a wonderful treat - you don't!' SUSAN RONALD
'An absorbing and fascinating read, meticulously researched as is always the case with Alison's work, and she really made Katharine live' SARAH RAYNE

Ich habe mit diesem Buch eine Reihe beendet. Alison Weir's "Six Tudor Queens" - Reihe hat mich seit 2020 begleitet und ich habe Henry VIII und seine Königinnen intensiv kennenlernen. "Katherine Parr - The Sixth Wife" war nun die letzte Königin und das war für mich tatsächlich ein stärkerer Teil der Reihe und ein guter Abschluss. Ich mochte Katherine Parr sehr, auch wenn mir gerade am Schluss ihr Verhalten nicht so gefallen hat. Sie war gebildet, sehr engagiert bei der Ausbildung ihrer Stiefkinder und bereits 2 mal verheiratet als sie Henry heiratet. Bei ihr war für mich einiges ungewöhnlich und so bin ich ihrer Geschichte gerne gefolgt, auch wenn ich manches schon zum 6. Mal gelesen habe. Leider wurde die Reihe nicht weiter ins Deutsche übersetzt und so gibt es auf deutsch nur die ersten beiden Bände. Wenn ihr könnt, lest die Reihe also auf englisch.
