Synopsis
La novela que recrea la apasionante juventud de la reina Victoria de Inglaterra, por la creadora de la serie televisiva Victoria.
En 1837, con apenas 18 años, Victoria se despierta una mañana para descubrir que su tío ha muerto y ella va a convertirse en reina de la nación más poderosa del planeta. Pero ¿logrará ser una monarca de pleno derecho o solo una marioneta en manos de familiares intrigantes y ambiciosos políticos? ¿Podrá imponerse en un mundo de hombres que creen que las mujeres son demasiado inestables para reinar?
Todos pretenden casarla con su primo, el príncipe Alberto, pero Victoria no tiene ninguna intención de acceder a un matrimonio de conveniencia. Prefiere gobernar sola y disfrutar de la compañía del primer ministro, el brillante Lord Melbourne, el único que la hace reír y que cree que de verdad llegará a ser una gran reina. Aunque la visita del príncipe Alberto está en marcha, ella ya ha decidido que es aburrido e insoportable porque así lo recuerda de su infancia. Después de todo la reina sabe lo quiere... O quizá aún no.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
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 the bestselling novels The American Heiress and The Fortune Hunter--brings the young nineteenth-century monarch, who would go on to reign for 63 years, richly to life in this magnificent novel.
Early one morning, less than a month after her eighteenth birthday, Alexandrina Victoria is roused from bed with the news that her uncle William IV has died and she is now Queen of England. The men who run the country have doubts about whether this sheltered young woman, who stands less than five feet tall, can rule the greatest nation in the world.
Despite her age, however, the young queen is no puppet. She has very definite ideas about the kind of queen she wants to be, and the first thing is to choose her name.
"I do not like the name Alexandrina," she proclaims. "From now on I wish to be known only by my second name, Victoria."
Next, people say she must choose a husband. Everyone keeps telling her she’s destined to marry her first cousin, Prince Albert, but Victoria found him dull and priggish when they met three years ago. She is quite happy being queen with the help of her prime minister, Lord Melbourne, who may be old enough to be her father but is the first person to take her seriously.
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.
