Just started this the other day and am loving it.   Very Happy

Its about Katherine of Aragon in the early years when she was married to Henry VIII's brother - but I expect as the book goes on it will get to the part where she marries Henry.  Laughing

I don't think PG hardly ever disappoints, apart from The Virgin's Lover which I didnt like Confused

I've also got A Respectable Trade and The Wise Woman lined up on my bookshelf.  All I need is more time to read all these books and do all this knitting Laughing

I treated myself to The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir the other day as well Rolling Eyes

I loved this one Jo tho I don't agree with her main argument  Laughing I wasn't so keen on The Wise Woman and A Respectable Trade for some reason - in fact I didn't finish them, but that's probably just me Wink

Me as well - I liked the book, but Catherine's reason for marrying Henry didn't feel realistic for me.
