Victoria (Goodwin) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Goodwin demonstrates her admirable ability to fuse wide-ranging knowledge of the period with lively storytelling skills.
Sunday Times (UK)


A hit…. The research is impeccable, the attention to detail―from protocol to petticoats―perfect, and it brings the formidable figure of Victoria to sparkling life.
Sunday Mirror (UK)


[Victoria] will sweep you away. It sumptuously brings to life the tale of Victoria's ascension to the throne, her battles with her mother and her relationship with her Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. I loved the detail in this novel, and tore through it.
Stylist (UK)


Fans of character-driven storylines will relish witnessing Victoria's transition from immaturity to adulthood.
Real Simple


Goodwin mines a rich vein of royal history with the ascension of the impetuous and imperious 18-year-old—whose sole companions were dolls and a lapdog—to the English throne in 1837.... [A]timeless recounting of a young girl’s aching first love. (Dec.)
Publishers Weekly


Highly recommended.... Bestselling Goodwin always draws in fans.
