Daughters of Spain: (Isabella & Ferdinand Trilogy)

With Spain now united, Ferdinand looked to his daughters to further his ambitions. All too often, Isabella found herself torn between his brilliant plans and her love for her children. During the last years of Isabella’s reign it seemed there was a curse on the royal house which struck at the children of the sovereigns. Tragedy followed tragedy – the Infanta Isabella, a broken-hearted widow; Juana, driven to madness by her husband’s philandering; and the sorrow of parting with young Catalina, destined to become Katharine of Aragon, wife to Henry VIII and Queen of England.

"Her novels are still very much to be enjoyed … Any writer who can both educate and thrill a reader of any age deserves to be remembered and find new fans … One only has to look at the TV/Media to see that the appetite for this kind of writing is still very much there" Matt Bates, WHSmith Travel "Jean Plaidy doesn't just write the history, she makes it come alive." Julia Moffat, RNA "Full-blooded, dramatic, exciting" Observer "Jean Plaidy conveys the texture of various patches of the past with such rich complexity" Guardian "Outstanding" Vanity Fair
