Description
The Taming of the Queen by Philippa Gregory In a world where women's lives were often defined by their relationships with men, Kateryn Parr's marriage to King Henry VIII presents a unique challenge. As a widow with a secret lover, Kateryn has no choice but to accept the king's proposal, despite the danger it poses to her life. As she navigates the treacherous waters of court politics, Kateryn must use her wit and intelligence to survive and even thrive in a male-dominated environment. As she unites the royal family and creates a radical study circle at the heart of the court, Kateryn becomes a leader of religious reform and the first woman to publish in English. However, her newfound power and influence also make her a target for those who seek to destroy her. With the traditional churchmen and rivals for power accusing her of heresy, Kateryn's very existence is threatened. This deeply intimate portrayal of a woman who longs for passion, power, and education at the court of a medieval killer is a gripping and thought-provoking tale of survival and self-discovery.
