About this listen
Alison Weir, historian and author of the Sunday Times best-selling Six Tudor Queens series, recounts the story of Henry VIII's last wife - Katharine Parr, the queen who survived him.
A woman torn between love and duty.
Two husbands dead, a boy and a sick man. And now Katharine is free to make her own choice.
The ageing king's eye falls upon her. She cannot refuse him...or betray that she wanted another.
She becomes the sixth wife - a queen and a friend. Henry loves and trusts her. But Katharine is hiding another secret in her heart, a deeply held faith that could see her burn....
Katharine Parr. Henry's final queen. Her story.
Renowned, best-selling historian Alison Weir reveals a warm, clever woman of great fortitude who rose boldly to every turn her life took.

Critic reviews
"This brilliant series has brought Henry VIII's six wives to life as never before. This novel will enthral and inspire, just as much as it will break your heart." (Tracy Borman)
"Katharine Parr deserves better than to be known just as Henry VIII's sixth wife - the one who survived. And there's no-one better placed than Alison Weir to restore her to her rightful place." (Sarah Gristwood)

Fabulous and interesting from the beginning to end
I was hooked from the first moment to the last sentence. I found the narrator exceptional and at the end of the story, due to the feeling and interpretation of the story teller, I felt I was in the moment and felt aggrieved for Catherine Parr. I enjoyed this book and have read it twice in quick succession.

Brilliant novel by Alison Weir
Well written novel. It was great to read about life after Henry VIII. Alison Weir manages to keep Thomas Seymour’s negative characteristics while seeing them through Katherine Parr’s loving eyes.
Good narrative, easy, slow paced and calming.

Fabulous
Very engaging and reminds us there is nothing new under the sun regarding political intrigue, human behaviour and love. For me a fascinating dip into our rich English heritage and history. Well worth a guided visit to Sudeley Castle

Excellent
I have read/listened to all six books in this series and I have enjoyed each one more than the previous one. This is an excellent finale to the story of Henry VIII’s wives.

Let down by the narration
Loved the story, well crafted and researched as all the other books in the series, but I felt let down by the narration. Far too many unnecessary gaps in the speech that left the narration stilted and rather breathy. The other books in the series have been extremely well narrated, but this particular reader was a disappointment with her stop-start speech.

Wonderful book and well chosen narrator!
This book is not just about the marriage, but Katharine's life. When the novel begins, Katharine is just a young child; Henry is happily married to his first wife. Therefore, as Katharine grows older, Henry's marital issues are in the background. Only when it is Katharine's 'turn' at being Henry's wife, do we really get an insight into this infamous King.
You do not need to have read the other books to be able to enjoy this one. It's a very interesting book and the extent of Weir's research is incredible.
The narration was perfect.
