A review by bookthia
The Sixth Wife by Suzannah Dunn

2.0

I didn't dislike this book but I didn't much like it either. Katherine Parr is an interesting historical figure to me and I enjoy learning about her contributions to English history. But this book made her look simple and wilfully ignorant. Thomas Seymour is almost always portrayed as a scoundrel so that was no surprise but the book was narrated through the first person voice of Catherine, Duchess of Suffolk, who is, in this book, cruel and selfish and truly hateful. It is rarely enjoyable reading through the eyes of a dislikeable character and that is why I was disengaged from this story.
