Ok, I will admit that this isn't a book, but a serries of books. Actually they are several serries of books and they are all amazing. ('The Tudor Queens' is about King Henry's sisters, Margaret and Mary, and there is another serries that I can't remember.)
The book that I just finished is called "The Rose Without a Thorn" and it is about King Henry's fourth wife,Katherine Howard. It's amazing! It goes through the life of Katherine Howard from the time she is a small child, to her death. The whole serries is historically accurate, which makes it so much more amazing. I really love how descriptive the author is. She does a really excelent job of getting all the facts into her novels. It is the sixth book by Jean Plaidy that I have read and I already have two more out of the library. I love how she uses the language that was used at the time, and how every book is done from the point of view of the person that the book is being written about. They are all written in first person. It's great! I think that I like it even more because I have been to a lot of the places that they are talking about. It's nice too that the books aren't little punny books. They're nice and thick and they're taking me a while to get through! It's not difficult reading by any streach but it's deffinantly the first history book that I have found written about people in that time peroid that is written for people my age! I love it.
Highly recomend reading them. (They are also nice to read because if you're like me and you watch the Tudors, then it's easier to see what's going on in the show because you have a bit more background information on the charactors.)
