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.

Eleştirmen yorumları

‘One of Gregory's great strengths as a novelist is her ability to take familiar historical figures and flesh them into living breathing human beings. The Constant Princess is a worthy successor to her previous novels about the Tudors.’ Daily Express
‘Gregory's research is impeccable which makes her imaginative fiction all the more convincing.’ Daily Mail
‘Gregory is great at conjuring a Tudor film-set of gorgeous gowns and golden-lattered dining. She invokes some swoonsome images…while the politics are personal enough to remain pertinent.’ DailyTelegraph
‘The contemporary mistress of historical crime fiction is Philippa Gregory. Her novels are filled with strong, determined women who take their fate into their own hands…Gregory brings to life the sights, smells and textures of 16th-century England.’ Kate Mosse, Financial Times

What made the experience of listening to The Constant Princess the most enjoyable?

Samantha Bonds voice added something extra to this book. I already have a lot of physical copy's of Philippa Gregory's books but listening to it was even more enjoyable and relaxing.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Constant Princess?

It was (as ever with the Philippa Gregory's books) nice to see the well knowns story of King Henry VIII trough the female eyes of Catlina.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Difficult to say, it took me a while to write this review...

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Catalina's story

Any additional comments?

Definitely also check out other Philippa Gregory's books and also look at Alison Weir Lancaster and York if you enjoy historic novels, Alison's book is even more historically correct.

A constant joy!
