Summary

UNA MUJER QUE LUCHÓ CONTRA TODO Y TODOS

Catalina, la última hija de los Reyes Católicos, ha sido durante años un personaje olvidado en España. Sin embargo, en Inglaterra, donde residió desde la adolescencia para casarse con el rey de esas tierras, se convirtió en una leyenda.
 
UNA REINA QUE FORJÓ SU PROPIO DESTINO
 
Este es el relato de una joven solitaria que llegó a ser la primera embajadora de Europa, una mujer que no vaciló ante el poder del mismísimo rey, provocando un gran cisma con la Iglesia católica, y una madre que nunca dejó de luchar por su única hija.
 
UNA NOVELA QUE NOS DESCUBRE LA VOZ SILENCIADA DE CATALINA DE ARAGÓN

Desde el castillo de Kimbolton, donde aguarda el final de su vida, Catalina nos narra las peligrosas intrigas de la corte y el asfixiante egoísmo de Enrique VIII, así como lo que la llevó a hacerse con el favor del pueblo inglés. En su debut en la novela histórica, Gema Bonnín nos regala por fin las palabras de una reina silenciada en vida que fue, en términos de Shakespeare, «la reina de todas las reinas».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A WOMAN WHO FOUGHT EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE.

For years, Catherine, the youngest daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, has remained a forgotten character in Spain. But in England—where she lived since her teenage years, intended to marry the king of the land—she became a legend.
 
A QUEEN WHO FORGED HER OWN DESTINY.

This is the tale of a lonely young girl who became Europe’s first ambassador, a woman who did not waver, not even before the king himself, causing a great schism within the Catholic Church, and a mother who never stopped fighting on behalf of her only child.
 
A NOVEL THAT REVEALS CATHERINE OF ARAGON’S SILENCED VOICE.

From Kimbolton castle, where she awaits the end of her days, Catherine narrates the dangerous court intrigues and asphyxiating selfishness of Henry VIII, as well as the events that lead her to gain the favor of the British people. In her historical novel debut, Gema Bonnín finally gives us the voice of a queen silenced in life, a woman who, in Shakespeare’s words, was “the queen of all queens.”
