I really love Weir's whole body of work; her history, biographies and her fiction. Here is Weir's fictional account of Katherine, Henry VIII's first and to many people his true legal wife. Katheine's story is amazing being the daughter of the warrior queen, Isabella of Spain Katherine was educated to rule including war tactics and she actually led the campaign against King James IV of Scotland, This is a dynamic novel of an important valiant woman who was at the center of political and religious upheaval in 16thc. England. ~ Reviewed by Maeve Noonan
