Daisy Goodwin, author of the bestselling novels The American Heiress and The Fortune Hunter (as well as creator and writer of the new PBS/Masterpiece drama Victoria), brings the young queen Victoria richly to life in this magnificent novel.
Drawing on Victoria’s own diaries, that she began reading as a student at Cambridge University, Goodwin brings readers a brilliantly imagined life of a young woman about to make her mark on her nation, and the world.
“Goodwin’s grasp of the background is impeccable, and she has an instinct for the delicious details that turn a history lesson into cracking fiction.” -- The Times
