Free (Kindle/Kobo/iTunes) Victoria by Daisy Goodwin [Royal Historical Tie-In Drama]

ATDrake · 07-06-2017, 06:45 PM

Victoria by British author Daisy Goodwin (Wikipedia), a television producer who has also helmed a number of popular shows, is her standalone historical novel with f/m romantic elements about the eponymous British queen which is a tie-in to the current popular ITV drama (Wikipedia) which Goodwin created, covering the early years of the young queen, as she wakes up to her new position, and must prove herself to supporters and detractors, as well as consider the obligatory dynastic marriage, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Headline's Review imprint.

This is the featured Free Book of the Week in the iTunes UK store.

Currently free, probably through Monday when these things tend to rotate @ Amazon UK, iTunes UK, Google Play, Kobo (available to UK, EU, South America, Japan when I spot-checked assorted regional stores, YMMV)

Description
From the creator of the ITV Sunday night drama, VICTORIA, comes the exclusive standalone novel by Daisy Goodwin, author of the bestselling MY LAST DUCHESS and THE FORTUNE HUNTER. Perfect for fans of epics such as War and Peace, Poldark or Granchester

In June 1837, the eighteen-year-old Victoria wakes up to find that she is Queen of the most powerful nation in the world. But will she be queen in her own right, or a puppet controlled by her mother and the sinister Sir John Conroy? Can this tiny girl prevail against the men who believe that women are too hysterical to rule?

Everyone wants her to get married, but Victoria has no intention of entering into a marriage of convenience with her cousin Albert, a shy bookworm who didn't know how to dance the last time she met him. She would much rather reign alone with a little help from her Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. He may be old enough to be her father, but he is the only man who believes that she will be a great Queen, and he knows how to make her laugh. A husband would only get in the way...

Not unless you take a little "trip" to the UK anyway.

While I've made the physical trip to the UK 5 times so far, the electronic trip isn't worth my while to futz with. Thanks anyway!
