The Taming Of The Queen by Philippa Gregory

Told through the eyes of Catherine Parr, the intelligent and determined sixth wife of Henry VIII, this novel follows her efforts to protect her stepchildren, advance religious reform, and preserve her autonomy within a court rife with intrigue, betrayal, and deadly power plays; she uses her wit, patronage of learning, and written voice to influence the king while navigating dangerous rivalries and a clandestine romance that threaten both her faith and her life.
