Om denne bog

''A good story, embracing character, emotion and drama... refreshing.'' THE TIMES

''A splendidly sympathetic and sparky portrait... Wittily written and rich in detail'' Miranda Seymour

Despite Catherine of Braganza''s crucial place in British history, and that of its Empire, she has since been overshadowed by stories of the king''s many mistresses and forgotten as Charles'' boring, powerless wife. This could not be further from the truth.

In an absorbing narrative, historian Sophie Shorland not only tells the full story of this long-overlooked figure and her difficult relationship with Charles II, but also reveals how Catherine changed the country in ways both large and small: part of her dowry was Bombay, Britain''s first territory on the Indian subcontinent; she also popularised trousers for women, Baroque art and music, and - perhaps most long-lastingly - tea drinking.
