missamandamae 's review for:
Victoria
by Daisy Goodwin
I was SO EXCITED to get this review copy! I love the film Young Victoria, and was able to visit Kensington Palace earlier this year during my trip to England, so I have an affinity for Queen Victoria, and was so pleased to read this. A lot of it focuses on Victoria's relationship with her mother and Conroy, and definitely on her relationship with Lord Melbourne, taking it to depths I'd not previously seen. Albert doesn't feature as prominently in it, and I found the portrayal of that relationship different than what I was lead to believe. But that really only makes me want to read a non-fiction account of Victoria's early years to get more info.
All in all, I found this a sweet read, getting to view Queen Victoria as a young woman as well as a young monarch, and certainly gaining more context for what I've already learned about her.
