(4) YA This novel offers a sympathetic account of the friends surrounding Cat, better known as Catherine Howard, Henry VIII’s fifth wife. Kitty, the narrator, is swept up in conspiracies and affairs as she struggles to understand what loyalty, love, and friendship demand. The modern prose can at times feel anachronistic, but the tone is lively, the settings are vivid, and the protagonist is sympathetic and believably portrayed.
