Only and only the Faith in Christ and to the Catholic Church has moved this woman in this way, it has not moved her conscience nor yielded to the good of her daughter Mary, the only living daughter of Catherine and Henry... When Katheryn Howard, a young cousin of the Boleyns, becomes the King’s fifth bride, Jane’s past allegiance to the crown secures her senior rank in the new queen’s household. The book is divided into three parts; Katherine’s life as a widowed princess in a foreign land being treated as a pawn in the political machinations between England and Spain, then her life as a much-loved queen and finally, being moved around the country after her husband sets her aside. Rating this book is difficult because it was very much a rollercoaster ride. The highlight of the book was the part where Henry had become infatuated with Anne and wanted to put Katherine aside, only for Katherine to dig her heels in. Yes, this was far from perfect and I did have issues with the characterisation of Katherine the most, but it was the most interesting to read. Her maid-of-honour and dear friend, Maria de Salinas, was standing beside her. ‘It cannot be long now till we come into port,’ Catalina said. ‘When I think how many years I have dreamed of coming to England, I cannot quite believe I am nearly there. I thank God that you are with me, Maria. I would not want to face this alone.’ There was no one else to whom she would have admitted that.Queen Jane must step out of the shadows cast by Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, but, in doing so, can she expose a gentler side to the brutal King? Un pò di orgoglio patriottistico, la grandissima cultura di Caterina, così vasta da poter dialogare e discutere con il sommo Tommaso Moro, venne impartita da Alessandro Geraldini,noto umanista del 16 sec.
