Sometimes I forget this book is directed towards younger people as there are so many insinuations and hints at things that I wouldn’t imagine in a book for young adults/teens (and things I know I didn’t come across when I was younger). Henry VIII just pushed the main character up against the door and grabbed her behind, others were talking about there being no blood on Anne of Cleves’ sheets etc.

Strange how Francis Dereham, Henry Mannox and Thomas Culpepper have been merged into one person called Francis Manham. Worsley has included so many details that I wouldn’t imagine having in a book for younger people, yet she seems to not want Katherine to have had multiple lovers. Seems odd, especially as her affair with Culpepper is so well-known.

‘We went to the queen’s own chamber, and there it was shocking to find that Queen Anne seemed rather like a convent girl. Although she was older than us, I guessed that she knew even less about the world than we did. She could hardly speak English, as we had been warned, but no one had told us that she would also dress so oddly, like a nun.’

‘My shoulders slumped. I realised that Katherine herself was flirtatious and treacherous and wondrously fair as well. Surely even the former queen, Anne Boleyn, would have been outclassed by my cousin? Katherine would certainly have her pick of the court’s unmarried men. How could I compete?’
