![]() ![]() ![]() The battles in her romantic life, I guess I’d always thought her and Albert just a done deal but to discover that in fact there were other people involved was fascinating. So this novel was really insightful, learning about her early life, the fact she ascended the throne at such a young age without really any idea about politics or running a country. My penchant has mostly always been for the Tudors and my knowledge of Victoria has only really stretched to knowing about Victorian times, and that was learnt from Charles Dickens. I also really enjoyed Daisy Goodwin’s novel My Last Duchess so felt complete confidence in her as an author to write Victoria’s story well. But as always it’s taken me a while to get to it. I watched the TV series which accompanies this novel and absolutely loved it, the relationship between Victoria and Albert was played so beautifully and I instantly bought the book. So in short, Victoria is right up my street. I’m a royalist through and through, I love the fact that I as an Englishwoman have a Monarch, I don’t care that they’re mostly seen as being ‘for show’ and I find the history of the royal line absolutely fascinating. I have a confession to make… I love stories about the English Monarchy. ![]()
