well worth a read - very thorough
really enjoyed this foray into 24 days of the life of queen victoria, painting a "warts and all" picture of a woman who oversaw so many shifts and changes (good and bad) so you're constantly changing your mind about how you feel about her. Lucy W's writing style is really enjoyable and her passion shines through as usual for really leaving no stone unturned when examining Victoria, her strengths and weaknesses, and her life.

Great holiday story
I really enjoyed this book. Chose it after viewing Lucy Worsley on a TV programme about the history of romantic fiction. It didn't disappoint. The narration was very good, free from a shrill pitch that I have encountered in previous audibles. Choose this book if you enjoy historical content and intelligent prose. Thanks Lucy, loved it.

Paints a different picture of Queen Victoria, I’ve only otherwise been exposed to the BBC drama series … I loved this version of her!

Good but.....
Lucy Worsley is a fantastic historian but describing the Irish famine as being caused by repeated failure of the potato crop demonstrates that even in the 21st Century, British historians are either wholly ignorant of the history of former countries of the British empire or choose to ignore atrocities inflicted by the British empire on other nations.
