After the execution of his beloved but unfaithful wife Catherine in February 1542, Henry VIII turns his attention to the twice-widowed Catherine Parr. However, she is in love with Thomas Seymour, brother of the late Queen Jane. Having learned of the rival, the king sends Seymour abroad, and Catherine Parr is left with no choice but to become Henry VIII's sixth queen. She tries to be a good wife to him and happily raises his children. Four years after the wedding, Henry dies, leaving the throne of England to nine-year-old Edward, a puppet in the hands of ambitious courtiers, and Catherine’s life changes dramatically. Delighted at the opportunity to marry her first love, she does not understand that Thomas Seymour now sees in her just a step to the throne, but in fact his goal is Henry’s daughter, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth... “Sixth wife. A Novel about Catherine Parr" is the latest book by the popular author and famous historian Alison Ware, who decided to create a dramatic series dedicated to the wives of King Henry VIII. For the first time in Russian!
