Book Overview
An intriguing novel based on the life of Catherine de Medici, queen to Henry II of France. The author spins a tale of a woman who was born into one of the leading families in Florence during the time of the renaissance. After the deaths of her parents and at the age of thirteen, Catherine's uncle, Pope Clement VII, had her marry Henry, Duke of Anjou, and second in line to the throne of France. Following the accidental death of her father-in-law, her husband inherits the throne at age twenty eight but later dies in a knightly challenge, leaving her to care for her children. Seen as an overpowering woman by many, Catherine will control the destiny of the country, in a most difficult period and following her death leaves behind the spoils of a war-torn country in the hands of her son-in-law.
