Victoria
by Daisy Goodwin
Recommendation: Watch the Masterpiece series of Victoria (still ongoing at the moment, and only about halfway through the episodes).
Get the delicious voice of Rufus Sewell in your head (surely I'm not the only one thinking this, right?).
Then, after two or three episodes, dig into this novelization, which can now probably be found at most libraries.
This book follows the PBS series extremely closely, and indeed was written at the same time the show was being put together. I don't know that I would have enjoyed it quite so much without the visuals and the voices being fresh in my mind from the TV show. It's straightforward, easy reading, but not particularly thought-provoking.
The book doesn't have the downstairs storylines that the show does (the servant characters are mentioned and have a little dialogue, but you don't get their back stories). Instead, as the title suggests, this book is centered squarely on the young queen.
