This book is excellently crafted. It doesn't feel like history at all. If anything, it feels like a historical romance, but the lead character is literally the Queen of England. I do love Victoria and Albert's story. I enjoyed the movie called The Young Victoria with Emily Blunt, and I also very much enjoyed the PDS TV show called Victoria. All of those adaptations are very close to each other, so one would assume that they are pretty accurate to the true life events. I always wonder about True Life adaptations, if they are really as true as one hopes them to be.

It was an okay novel. I am not really interested in romance novels and thought Victoria would persuade me. Yet it was an average book in the such genre.

Fiction in the historical fiction is key here, especially with the Queen Victoria and Lord Melbourne debacle.


Excellent.
