Laurien Gardner gives us insite into the life of Catherine of Aragon through the story being told by her maid Estrella de Montoya. Both ladies arrived from Spain with fantacies of King Authur and chivalric knights but soon find their lives will be much different than what their dreams have depicted. We hear much of Catherine's rival, Anne Boleyn but this book let's us see the life of Catherine prior to becoming Queen as well as her life once Anne becomes a great influence in Henry VIII life.
