Fascinating reading - well researched and detailed about Victoria the woman and the queen. Also gives a good overview of the social and political history of England during her reign, a period of great great change in social mores from the Georgian period through what we now refer to as the "Victorian" era, economic change with the Industrial Revolution, and political change with the move toward more representation with wider voting rights, for men at least! Victoria was a much more complex personality than most people realize. Bravo to author Julia Baird!

If you like history this is a great book anout Queen Victoria and her life. This isn't a novel. It is full of history and what is going on in the world around Victoria and her family that is key to why she acted the way she did. Being queen is a huge responsibility and she handled it well in my opinion.
