出版社:
Oxford University Press
简介:
There were six of them - three Katherines, two Annes, and a Jane. One of them was the King's wife for twenty-four years, another for only a year and a half. One died, two were divorced, and two were beheaded. It was a dangerous, uncertain life. After the King's death in 1547, his sixth wife finds a box of old letters - one from each of the first five wives. They are sad, angry, frightened letters. They tell the story of what it was like to be the wife of Henry VIII of England. 英格兰国王亨利八世因为很多事情而出名，但他也因有六个妻子而闻名于世。他不是个好丈夫。人们说，当他挑选新妻子时，父亲们都会小心地带着女儿远离王宫。他们都不愿意让国王选中他们的女儿当下一任王后，因为他的几位王后都很短命，而且都很不幸。 为什么亨利国王会和两位妻子离婚，又杀死了另两个呢？他的王后们到底是什么样子呢？ 他的第六位妻子凯瑟琳·帕尔在国王去世后依然健在。一天她回到了白厅的王宫，发现一个装着旧信的盒子，这些信都是写给国王的——他的前五位妻子每人一封。她坐下来把信念给自己年轻的侍女玛格丽特听。第一封信来自西班牙国王的女儿，阿拉贡的凯瑟琳，她和亨利做了24年的夫妻。她孤独地郁郁而终，没有一个朋友……
