ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A WOMAN WHO FOUGHT EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE.
For years, Catherine, the youngest daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, has remained a forgotten character in Spain. But in England--where she lived since her teenage years, intended to marry the king of the land--she became a legend. A QUEEN WHO FORGED HER OWN DESTINY.
This is the tale of a lonely young girl who became Europe's first ambassador, a woman who did not waver, not even before the king himself, causing a great schism within the Catholic Church, and a mother who never stopped fighting on behalf of her only child. A NOVEL THAT REVEALS CATHERINE OF ARAGON'S SILENCED VOICE.
From Kimbolton castle, where she awaits the end of her days, Catherine narrates the dangerous court intrigues and asphyxiating selfishness of Henry VIII, as well as the events that lead her to gain the favor of the British people. In her historical novel debut, Gema Bonnn finally gives us the voice of a queen silenced in life, a woman who, in Shakespeare's words, was "the queen of all queens."
