A good, quick read but the entire book is based on the conviction that Catherine or Aragon's first marriage was never consummated. The author even asserts that she does actually believe such to be the case.
In my own opinion, as pious & sincerely religious as Catherine was, I do not think she would have stated, let alone held on to such a falsehood without at least confessing on her deathbed. In most source studies Arthur's ill health noted & believed to be the reason why it was not consummated, as could very well have been the case.
