Victoria as you've never seen her before: an intimate and unmissable account of one of Britain's longest-reigning, best-loved monarchs from bestselling author Lucy Worsley
Readers LOVE Queen Victoria:
'This book changed my whole perception of Queen Victoria' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Fascinating. Lucy has really brought her to life' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'An insightful, interesting and readable account' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
*******************************
A little old lady, potato-like in appearance, dressed in everlasting black? She was also a passionate young princess who loved dancing. And there is also a third Victoria, the brilliant queen, one who invented a new role for the monarchy.
Victoria found a way of ruling when people were deeply uncomfortable with having a woman on the throne.
Her image as a conventional daughter, wife and widow concealed the reality of a talented, instinctive politician. Her actions, if not her words, reveal that she was tearing up the rules on how to be female. But the price of this was deep personal pain.
By looking in detail at twenty-four days of her life, through diaries, letters and more, we meet Queen Victoria up-close and personal. Living with her from hour to hour, we can see and celebrate the contradictions that make up British history's most recognisable woman.
