The new trend in historical fiction seems to be telling the story of Catherine Howard through the perspective of Katherine Tylney, allegedly one of her best friends. For those who arent familiar with this story, Kitty Tylney is a historical figure, but not much is known about her. She lived with the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk during the same time that Catherine Howard was there, the two were around the same age, so its a fair assumption that they had a friendship on some level.
Although this book is about Kitty, and is told from her perspective, the tale intertwines her story very heavily with Cats, which means that the story essentially revolves around Cat. Kitty is basically with Cat from the start, witnessing Cats escapades while they are girls and eventually going to court to serve under her as queen. As the story progresses, Kitty realizes she is simply living a life in Cats shadow, wanting things because Cat wants them, and not doing anything for herself.
