Overall, this novel is about security, duty, and religion. Still, Katharine Parr was devoted to her four husbands, stepchildren, siblings, and her religion. In her fourth marriage, she made many mistakes. A month after Henry VIII died, she immediately married Thomas Seymour. The only time I thought she was reckless was when it came to love. Every step Katharine makes, she is very careful. It is because she wants the best for her stepchildren from both marriages that they come to respect her.
Katharine is also a very devoted stepmother, and often seeks to have her stepchildren educated. She uses her intelligence to save herself. It is through her Protestant religion that she is willing to give up love and be a passionate spokesperson on the faith. She is also passionate in the Protestant faith. She has a love of learning and often spends her free time on books. Katharine Parr is a very likable and relatable heroine. Could Katharine be the queen who could help reform England under a turbulent reign? As Katharine is approaching widowhood, she wonders if she can sacrifice love for the good of her religion and country. The second is the most powerful man in England, King Henry VIII. Katharine Parr is pursued by two suitors. The death of Katharine Parr’s second husband draws near. My Review: Katharine Parr was the sixth wife of Henry VIII and England’s most married queen. The king is no longer in any condition to father a child, but Katharine is content to mother his three children, Mary, Elizabeth, and the longed-for male heir, Edward. Aware of his rival, Henry sends him abroad, leaving Katharine no choice but to become Henry’s sixth queen in 1543. She, however, is in love with Sir Thomas Seymour, brother to the late Queen Jane. Having sent his much-beloved but deceitful young wife Katheryn Howard to her beheading, King Henry fixes his lonely eyes on a more mature woman, thirty-year-old, twice-widowed Katharine Parr.
Synopsis : Bestselling author and acclaimed historian Alison Weir brings her Tudor Queens series to a close with the remarkable story of Henry VIII’s sixth and final wife, who manages to survive him and remarry, only to be thrown into a romantic intrigue that threatens the very throne of England.
