Description

The Fifth Queen by Ford Madox Ford is a neglected masterpiece about Katharine Howard, the fifth queen of Henry VIII. Intelligent and beautiful, Kat Howard catches the eye of Henry VIII and becomes his fifth wife, despite being a teenager from outside court who has grown up far from the corruption and intrigue that now surround her. As she navigates the treacherous world of Tudor politics, Kat finds herself drawn into a perilous showdown with Thomas Cromwell, the much-feared Lord Privy Seal. Her growing influence over the King threatens too many powerful interests, and she must confront the insidious operations of power and fear that underpin any era. Originally published in three parts, Ford's novel offers a breathtakingly visual evocation of the Tudor world and a timeless portrayal of the corrupting influence of power.
