Alison Weir is the top-selling female historian (and the fifth-bestselling historian overall) in the United Kingdom, and has sold over 3 million books worldwide. She has published nineteen history books, including her most recent non-fiction book, Queens of the Crusades, the second in her England's Medieval Queens quartet. Alison has also published several historical novels, including Innocent Traitor and The Lady Elizabeth. Katharine Parr: The Sixth Wife is Alison Weir's eleventh published novel and the final book in the Six Tudor Queens series about the wives of Henry VIII, which was launched in 2016 to great critical acclaim. All five previous novels in the series were Sunday Times bestsellers. Alison is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and an honorary life patron of Historic Royal Palaces.
Katheryn emerges from the pages of this beautifully realised
portrayal as beguiling, vivacious and, in the end, tragically
naive . . .This novel will captivate you and break your
heart. Utterly sublime
For the first time I felt as though, thanks to Alison's skilful
writing and storytelling, I came to "know" Katharine. The book
is utterly exceptional and beautifully crafted, with
a keen eye for detail - solid gold for Tudor history lovers
-- Nicola Tallis
Weir demonstrates her deep knowledge of the period offering
fascinating detail on all aspects of Tudor life. . .It is a
profoundly moving story that lingers long after the last
page is turned
Alison's sensitively drawn novel will change everyone's
preconceptions
This is my favourite of the series
