Beschrijving
In the early 16th century, a young lady named Eva De Puebla finds herself in the vibrant court of Henry VIII as she serves as a lady in waiting to Catherine of Aragon, the newlywed bride of Arthur, Prince of Wales. With a unique perspective, Eva chronicles her experiences amid the political intrigues and social dynamics of the Tudor era. She navigates the challenges of loyalty and ambition, capturing the essence of life within the castle walls.
As Eva becomes increasingly entwined in the lives of the royals, she witnesses both the grandeur and the tragedy of court life. Her diary unfolds the emotions and turmoil of the women around her, revealing Catherine's struggles against expectations and the looming specter of a kingdom in flux. With reflective prose, Eva lays bare the hopes and fears of a young woman caught in an era defined by power and desire.
Through Eva's eyes, readers gain insight into a transformative period in history. The personal journey she embarks upon is as resonant as the larger political landscape, offering a rich tapestry of loyalty, heartbreak, and resilience against a backdrop of historical significance. Each entry in Eva's diary adds depth to the narrative, making her story compelling and relatable in its exploration of love, duty, and self-discovery.
