From Library Journal: "Top-notch writing brings to life the world of wealth on both sides of the Atlantic. This debut’s strong character development and sense of place will please fans of historical romance, including book club members."

I talked with Myquillyn Smith, aka The Nester, about this on episode 156 of WSIRN. From the publisher: "On June 19th, 1837, she was a teenager. On June 20th, 1837, she was a queen. Daisy Goodwin’s impeccably researched and vividly imagined new book brings readers Queen Victoria as they have never seen her before. Drawing on Queen Victoria’s diaries, which she first started reading when she was a student at Cambridge University, Daisy Goodwin—creator and writer of the new PBS Masterpiece drama Victoria and author of bestselling novels—brings the young nineteenth-century monarch, who would go on to reign for 63 years, richly to life."
