The Rose Without a Thorn

by Jean Plaidy

Henry's VIII's fifth wife was innocent in all but the art of live ... If Katherine Howard had not been born both poor and beautiful, or had she not been adopted by the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk, she might indeed have wed her childhood playmate, Thomas Culpepper. But left to run wild, Katherine is introduced to secret pleasures. And as she grows up she is made to serve the political ambitions of her powerful uncle, the Duke of Norfolk. When the ageing King Henry VIII chooses Katherine as his fifth wife, her tragic destiny is sealed." -container.
