Search - The Sixth Wife

Fascinating book regarding Katherine Parr written from the perspective of her best friend. Historically accurate and well written!

I was really looking forward to this book, I had read another by this author earlier in the year and liked it quite a bit. And I liked this too, but it took me a bit of time to adjust to the viewpoint and way of speaking in this one.

The book is told from the viewpoint of Catherine of Suffolk, the last wife of Charles Brandon, who was a great friend to Henry VIII. Cathy, completely by coincidence, is a great friend of Katherine Parr, Henry’s sixth and final wife, and we pick up the story right after Kate marries Thomas Seymour, going through the last year or so of her life.

An interesting book about Katherine Parr's life after Henry VIII. The story is told through the eyes of Katherine's best friend, the widow of Charles Brandon. It's a little slow so the author spices it up by inventing a relationship between Catherine Brandon and Thomas Seymour. Strange but author doesn't spend a lot of time on the scandal involved with Thomas Seymour and Princess Elizabeth. A good read nonetheless.
