"Catherine of Braganza: Charles II's Restoration Queen" by
Sarah-Beth Watkins is a short biography of Queen Catherine of
England, who reigned from 1662-1685. Her marriage to King Charles
II, a king on shaky ground as he had previously been usurped, was
an alliance match. The book focuses much on her struggles as a
foreign bride - she was a princess from Portugal - and the problems
of being a Catholic noble in the hostile, Anglican-leaning English
courts. I found myself finishing the book in a matter of hours, as
Catherine's history was so engaging that I had to know how it
turned out...--Diana Fossett, Dixie Sun News -The Voice Of Dixie
State University
I liked the book so much I read it all in one sitting. I definitely
plan to look into more of her books.--Kelly Wells, GoodReads
