ubiquitous6 's review for:
Queen Charlotte
by Shonda Rhimes, Julia Quinn
The story begins with Charlotte and her brother arriving in England for her marriage to George the King. Their marriage has a lot of problems and obstacles because George has a secret problem of mental illness.
George and Charlotte learn to navigate this and as time passes their love blossoms and a bond develops between them. Eventually they both come of age and become Just George and Just Charlotte and build their lives on their terms.
The story has detailed descriptions of the crude and barbaric medical treatments that were common during this era —which brought tears to my eyes. The backstory of Lady Danbury, Charlotte’s Lady-In-Waiting, who is chosen not because of her title or her husband’s support of the royal family, but because of the color of her skin – exposes us to racism (and brings tears to my eyes). Yet another backstory, that of the relationship between Brimsley and Reynolds exposes us to the existence of homosexuality. Well written and an excellent read.
