Royal by Danielle Steel
5.0
I LOVED Royal!
It has been a long time since I have read a Danielle Steel book and this was a beautiful, emotional story that I could not get enough of. I am not a Royalist but I do love Royal history (even if it is fictional) This is a historical fiction story, a genre that I have recently discovered and found that I love. It is a romance and it is a tragedy.
This book broke me so many times. I was in tears after just the first few chapters. And that was only the beginning. I was completely lost in the story and would have read it in one go if real life had not gotten in the way.
Set in World War 2 it is a grim and sad start. The King and Queen have decided to send their youngest daughter Charlotte to a farm in Yorkshire to escape the bombings in London. She does not want to go but soon finds a freedom that she is not accustomed to. The events in the country are the start of a series of events that will change history and come close to a Royal scandal.
It will make you laugh, cry and smile. It was a different time in so many ways, and being Royal and a woman wasn't easy. The women in this book are strong and not afraid to buck the system. I will definitely be reading more Danielle Steel books in the future.
Thank you MacMillian Australia for my advanced copy of this book to read.
