Victoria
by Daisy Goodwin
3.5 stars. This was a light-hearted and enjoyable coming-of-age historical romance novel. Victoria becomes the Monarch at age 18 and navigates her duties with the help of her dreamy older Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. Too much of the book is dedicated to the flirtation between them. I haven’t researched to see if that part of the story is accurate. I would much rather there have been a focus on her marriage to Albert. The book went on too long for me, and Albert only shows up at the very end. I became bored about two-thirds of the way through, but still happy that I read it. I think this sweet story would be great for young adults. I’m looking forward to getting caught up on the PBS series “Victoria,” also written and produced by Daisy Goodwin.
