Queen's Gambit: A Novel by Elizabeth Freemantle

Queen's Gambit: A Novel by Elizabeth Freemantle --- 424 pages

Yet another novel about Henry VIII and his six Queens, this one focussing on his sixth and final wife, Katherine Parr, the only one to survive the honor. Most of the characters are actual historical persons, but their words and actions are highly fictionalized to suit the author's purposes.
