Armchair Traveler Reading Challenge Book #2
From the Publisher
Daughter of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain, Katherine has been fated her whole life to marry Prince Arthur of England. When they meet and are married, the match becomes as passionate as it is politically expedient. The young lovers revel in each other's company and plan the England they will make together. But tragically, aged only fifteen, Arthur falls ill and extracts from his sixteen-year-old bride a deathbed promise to marry his brother, Henry; become Queen; and fulfill their dreams and her destiny.
I was expecting great things from this author as I have read numerous book reviews and all highly recommend her books. It started off a little slow but gradually picked up. I have no real insights to share about this book, just that it was a very enjoyable read.
