Daisy Goodwin breathes new life into Victoria's storyline, and will so with level of sensitivity, verve, and wit." (Amanda Foreman, New York Times best-selling author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire and A World on Fire, and 2016 seat of the person Booker Prize) Early one morning hours, less than a month after her 18th birthday, Alexandrina Victoria is roused from foundation with the news headlines that her uncle William IV has passed away, and she actually is now queen of Great britain. The men who run the united states have doubts about whether this sheltered young female, who stands significantly less than five feet large, can rule the best nation on earth. Surely she must count on her mother and her venal advisor, Sir John Conroy, or her uncle, the Duke of Cumberland, who are too wanting to alleviate her of the burdens of electric power. The young queen is not any puppet, however. She's very particular ideas about the type of queen she wishes to be, and the first thing is to choose her name. Everyone keeps saying she actually is destined to marry her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, but Victoria found him uninteresting and priggish when they met three years in the past. She actually is quite happy being queen by using her prime minister, Lord Melbourne, who may be old enough to be her father but is the first person to use her seriously. Sketching on Victoria's diaries, which she first started reading when she was a student at Cambridge University, as well as her own outstanding gifts for history and drama, Daisy Goodwin, author of the best-selling books The American Heiress and The Bundle of money Hunter as well as inventor and writer of the new PBS/Masterpiece drama Victoria, brings the young queen richly alive in this magnificent audiobook.
