Why read it?
1 author picked Victoria R.I. as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was the first biography of Queen Victoria that I read and, to date, it remains the best! Effortlessly combing in the personal with the political, it not only portrays Victoria as a Queen but also as a woman, who could simultaneously be one of the most dominant monarchs of the 19th century, and as nervous as a child. A brilliant portrayal of a fascinating character, playing a major role in one of the most interesting eras in history!
From Christina's list on the fascinating Queen Victoria.
