A review by lizinthelibrary
Matriarch: Queen Mary and the House of Windsor by Anne Edwards

5.0

Picked this up because we just started watching The Crown on Netflix and I was in a royal mood. Completely fascinating as a biography, especially as Queen Mary's life had so many transitions in it, from the 19th to the 20th century, from a continent covered in royal families, to a royal family standing alone, etc. Really amazing to see how world events shaped and were shaped by her and her family. Loved the many uses of diaries and letters and other primary sources.
The audiobook narrator was good

Highly recommended.
