What this book is about
Catherine of Aragon, princess of Spain and widow of Prince Arthur, refuses to return to Spain after her husband's death—and waits six years in poverty for Henry VIII to come to the throne and marry her. Philippa Gregory's sympathetic portrait of Catherine is warm, determined, and politically astute.
