The Secret Guests
by Benjamin Black
The Secret Guests tells the story of the evacuation from London during the blitz of the royal princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret. In a remarkably poorly managed evacuation, the girls are sent to the estate of a distant relative under the guard of inexperienced and politically suspect bodyguards. The two girls, raised to be “royal” and thus stoic in the advent of unpleasant circumstances, are still just little girls.
I suspect this story was largely historically accurate, and as such it was an interesting look behind the royal curtain. Although believable, the characters were unfortunately unlikeable, and I consequently lost some interest in their story.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
