A splendid and sumptuous historical novel from the internationally bestselling author, Philippa Gregory, telling of the early life of Katherine of Aragon. I was born a princess, destined to be queen, and I know my duty. 1491. Henry VII's eldest son Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales, has been betrothed since childhood to the Spanish princess Katherine of Aragon. Their marriage will cement the alliance Henry Tudor craves to secure his country. But when Arthur's sudden death leaves an 11-year-old boy heir to the kingdom, Henry Tudor must choose whether to send Katherine back to Spain, or to marry her himself. Katherine has no son from her brief marriage to secure her future; her substantial dowry and his powerful contract are at stake. Henry has reckoned without the determination of a young woman set on fulfilling her own destiny to be a queen - and the ambition of Prince Harry, the future Henry VIII.

This book drew me in from its first page and did not release me until the end. The characters are finely drawn and entirely believable. This is another one of Philippa Gregory's excellent historical novels. She is an outstanding author of this genre.

Awesome!
I found that this book was awesome! This was my second Philippa Gregory Book and I enjoyed imensely! She is a wonderful author! I have read the other Boleyn Girl and although this book was not as great as that one it was still wonderful, and I look forward to reading other books by her! I love that she actually researches the history before she writes the books! Anyway.... you should definatley read this book!

Excellent Read
As in the majority of Phillippa Gregory's books, this story was entertaining and held my interest and as usual, I hated when it ended. If you love books about English King's and court you'll find this book one of the best!!

HISTORY REVISED
PHILLIPPA GREGORY PUTS A NEW SPIN ON THE OFT TOLD TALE OF KATHERINE OF ARAGON AND HENRY VIII. I COULD NOT REALLY GO ALONG WITH HER PREMISE AS IT CONTRADICTS ALL THE OTHER HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS I HAVE READ. I COULD NOT SEE KATHERINE LIVING OUT A LIE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE AND BECAUSE OF HER BACKGROUND AND BELIEFS, I COULD NOT BUY HER FONDNESS FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION. DO NOT READ THIS FOR THE HISTORY BUT LOOK AT IT AS JUST A STORY WITH REAL HISTORICAL NAMES ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS.

Fascinating history and tale
I have read several of this author's books, and this is my favorite. The word pictures she paints are absolutely lovely and the story riveting. Catalina, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain is to marry Prince Edward. The young prince, with whom she falls deeply in love, dies young. From this point on we see a woman of great strength and determination emerge to marry Edward's brother and rule her adopted country of England as Catherine. The author brings to life some of the most fascinating characters in history.
