This was a great book; incredibly engaging and interesting. I'm glad it was written by a woman from a woman's perspective.
So I was quite surprised to read that Victoria was actually pretty bad at what she did. The public view of her has always been wrong! Very interesting to read about her relationship with Albert... It wasn't all roses.
A great, albeit brief look at her long life. How different things were from the start to the end of her reign.
