Description

Catherine Parr: Wife, Widow, Mother, Survivor is a biography that reveals a lesser-known side to the last queen of Henry VIII. After enjoying her freedom following two arranged marriages, Catherine caught the attention of the elderly king, who was drawn to her intelligence and vitality. This book explores how Catherine navigated the complexities of her role as queen, providing domestic tranquillity for Henry VIII but never losing hope of escaping her fate. The biography also delves into her personal life, including a heart-wrenching discovery that would change her future forever. Through new research, Elizabeth Norton sheds light on a woman often portrayed as dutiful and matronly, revealing a complex individual who attempted to escape her destiny and find happiness for herself.
