TAMING OF THE QUEEN

Kateryn Parr, a thirty-year-old widow in a secret affair with a new lover, has no choice when a man old enough to be her father - King Henry VIII - commands her to marry him. Kateryn has no doubt about the danger she faces: the previous queen lasted sixteen months, the one before barely half a year. And as a leader of religious reform and the first woman to publish in English, Kateryn stands out as an independent woman with a mind of her own.
