A review by hbowescatton
The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory
3.0
Katherine of Aragon- phew, if this is halfway accurate, she was The Woman. Talk about endurance. I like Gregory's take on her first marriage as very much consummated, and her second as driven by her belief that she was destined to be Queen of England.
Tell you what though, this book is great until it suddenly skips forward a decade and we see Katherine at her divorce hearing. Nice portrait of Katherine as Queen Militant, but really frustrating as a narrative. What happened in the missing ten years? Odd choice of structure by Gregory, IMO.
