4.0étoiles sur 5 More Great Historical Fiction from a Great!, Avril 28 2007
Par Teddy (Richmond, BC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Constant Princess (Audio CD)
I read The Other Boleyn Girl last month last month. (See My Review). It was my first Phillippa Gregory book and I loved it. Since I was hungry for more Gregory I decided on The Constant Princess next. I actually listened to the Audio CD version. The narrator, Kate Burton brought Gregoys characters to life. I loved learning more about Catherine of Aragon and her fight to become Queen of England. Gregory captures the plight of women from the 15th and 16th century well. My only criticism is that Gregory ended the book too abruptly. She wrote about Catherines triumph in Scotland and then jumps to her death. I would have like to have read about what happen in between! Non the less, Im still hungry for more Phillippa Gregory.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Lovely Story, Though Not Strictly Historical, Fév 24 2008
Par microfiche (Scarborough, ON Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Constant Princess (Paperback)
I can't reveal the 'not strictly historical' part that hurt my enjoyment of this novel because it's central to the plot. It is a fine book: sensitively written characters, moving story, lovely language that draws the reader in and won't let go. Not the best of Ms. Gregory's best - and I enjoy her works - but it certainly deserves high praise. It is certainly a fresh approach to the old story of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Captivating Enough, Nov. 19 2009
Par Toni Osborne "The Way I See It" (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Constant Princess (Paperback)
In this historically based fiction, Ms Gregory introduces us to one of her most unforgettable heroines and vividly reconstructs for our enjoyment the life of Katherine of Aragon, daughter of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain.

The story is told from Katherine's point of view, relating her feelings at each milestone in her life, from her childhood in Spain, her marriage to Prince Arthur of England up to the time of her disgrace from court. She recalls when the young couple who were betrothed, finally meet and married, a politically arrange marriage that soon developed into a hidden passion and devotion for each other. Sadly, at age fifteen Arthur falls ill and on his death bed he has Katherine promise to marry his brother Henry and further the hope of becoming Queen and fulfilling their dreams for the country.

It is easy to forget that Katherine's life is the author's version of events. The story details Katherine's insistence that her first marriage was never consummated; this facilitated her marriage to Henry but always remained a point of contestation.

The author portrays Katherine as a very courageous and strong woman who faced many struggles, some joyous some sad. We are left with Henry V111 depicted as a spoiled and selfish man who would put aside wife after wife at a whim.

For those fascinated by historical fiction, this will transport you into the tumultuous life at the Tudor Court, at a time when no one was safe. It was a time when battles to conquer territories were forcefully fought and ones religious beliefs ruled the world.

The story is quite captivating although I did find it meander and dragged a bit and it ended rather abruptly.
