Alisa M. Libby has a second book coming out in a few months in the US and UK that is a Young Adult novel about Kathryn Howard (pre-order links below). She’s an interesting choice of subject for a book aimed at that age group. I’ve bought a few young adult Tudor novels over the years but I’m ashamed to say I haven’t had a chance to read any of them yet, even though I know that they have been driving teen readers to my website after they get hooked on the period. I’ll have to add this one to my ‘to be read pile’ and finally read some of them one of these days!
That’s interesting, I wonder how they’ll choose to portray her? Sympathetically I suppose – I imagine she would be quite a good subject for that age group…
What a GREAT topic for YA! If you ask me, there aren’t enough teens interested in the Tudor Era. This should be a great read!
I suspect the innocent victim bit will be played up quite a bit. Evil uncle duke of Norfolk, et al
