  • "'I will be good, ' promised the thirteen-year-old Victoria, when she understood that she would be Queen of the most powerful country in the world. With a combination of novelistic flair and historical accuracy, the author begins by relating the heartbreaking story of Princess Charlotte, the Queen who never was, and her impact on the young Victoria."@en
  • ""Our perception of Victoria the Queen is coloured by portraits of her older, widowed self - her dour expression embodying the repressive morality propagated in her time. But this book reveals an energetic and vibrant woman, determined to battle for power. It also documents the Byzantine machinations behind Victoria's quest to occupy the throne, and shows how her struggles did not end when finally the crown was placed on her head. Laying bare the passions that swirled around the throne in the 18th century, this is an absorbingly dramatic tale of secrets, sexual repression and endless conflict."--Global Books in Print."
