Summary from the back of the book

Date Started: 2/6/24 – Date Finished:2/6/24

4 out of 5 stars

(Disclaimer: It is book geared towards children, also because it is a children’s book it has a less harsher scoring range as well.)

This book is more favorable toward Catherine of Aragon, mostly because the main character is a lady-in-waiting to Catherine before she marries Prince Arthur. Now it was surprising that the main character (Eva) has a interesting view of Catherine. She thinks that Catherine is immature at times, and frivolous. A hard switch to what we usually hear about Catherine. It is a good story, tries to explain the political aspects of the time during Catherine’s youth as a young bride to Arthur, her widowhood, and her marriage to Henry VIII. BUT! My only complaint is that the book is supposed to cover many years (12ish or so) but there are far too few entries. Still would read again for something nice and quick and nostalgic.
