*************************************************************************************************
Katharine Parr has unwittingly become the last pawn in King Henry VIII's ambitions for an heir.
Already twice widowed, Katharine finally dares to hope that she might find love with the dashing Thomas Seymour - but Henry has decided he must have a sixth wife and Seymour's intentions to marry Katharine have not gone unnoticed.
Unable to refuse the King of England, Katharine becomes his reluctant bride.
Once again it seems only a matter of time before another wife's fate leads her to the Tower of London. Will fate be kind to her...?
The Tudor saga continues in The Thistle and the Rose.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Eleanor Hibbert was a master of historical fiction—she wrote an astonishing 91 novels in the genre under the pen name Jean Plaidy. The Sixth Wife proves she was a master of suspense as well. Even though Katherine Parr’s fate as the spouse who survived the notoriously brutal Henry VIII is well known, Plaidy’s story got our hearts racing. With meticulous detail, she brings to life the king’s mercurial temper, his suspicion of Katherine’s sympathies, and his resentment against his wife when she fails to produce an heir to the throne. This is a great read for fans of courtly intrigue and royal drama.
