The Confession of Katherine Howard 05-12-11 reviewed by Lisa H

The Confession of Katherine Howard by Suzannah Dunn, is a fictional account about the 5th wife of Henry the VIII.  I am so interested in everything that has to do with the Tudors, but I find alot of the books are hard to understand.  This book was easy to comprehend and easy to read.  The book begins when "Kate" is queen and flips back and forth into the past, revealing a fictional account of her youth. The story is told from Kates childhood friends point of view, and while we all know the eventual outcome of her short life, it is fascinating to think about what her life prior to being queen might have been like.  I know some of the book is based on fact,  but I enjoy picturing what they all looked like and how they lived.  Suzannah Dunn has written 3 other books on the wives of Henry the VIII, all of which I will be reading.
