Katharine, the Virgin Widow: A Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
In the eyes of the world, Katharine of Aragon was a precious object to be disposed of for the glory of Spain. Her parents, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, send her to England to become the bride of Arthur, Prince of Wales. But soon her frail husband was dead, and a fateful question loomed: Was the marriage consummated, or was the young widow still a virgin? On that delicate point hinged Katharine's—and England's—future. Meanwhile, waiting in the wings was her willful, handsome brother-in-law, bold Prince Henry, who alone had the power to restore Katharine's lost position—but at what cost?
Jean Plaidy's narrative genius sparkles in this story of a remarkable royal marriage that inspired some of history's bloodiest deeds.

- content: Katharine of Aragon is wedded to Arthur, the eldest son of King Henry VII of England. An important alliance between Spain and England is accomplished, but the teenaged couple is deemed too young to consummate the marriage. When the sickly prince dies, Katharine's status becomes precarious, and she's treated like a pawn in a deadly political game. Narrator Anne Flosnik invigorates Jean Plaidy's novel about Katharine's prolonged struggle to regain security amid political intrigue and the whims of all-powerful royalty. Flosnik portrays young Katharine with both dignity and fear as she vacillates between regal splendor and near poverty. Katherine's only hope is her late husband's younger brother, Henry VIII, but his demanding ego and questions about her virginity threaten to interfere. N.M.C. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
