Duchessina: A Novel of Catherine de' Medici

(3) YA Young Royals series. Sumptuous details of sixteenth-century Italy and France enhance this tale of young Catherine de' Medici, the beleaguered wife of King Henry II of France. Meyer convincingly humanizes Catherine, showing how her childhood days as a political pawn could have shaped her unpopular actions as queen. The text is equally rich with history and narrative.
