About this listen

By turns thrilling, dramatic, and touching, this is the story of Queen Victoria's childhood as you've never heard it before.

Miss V. Conroy is good at keeping secrets. She likes to sit as quiet as a mouse, neat and discreet. But when her father sends her to Kensington Palace to become the companion to Princess Victoria, Miss V soon finds that she can no longer remain in the shadows. Her father is Sir John Conroy, confidant and financial advisor to Victoria's mother, and he has devised a strict set of rules for the young princess that he calls the Kensington System. It governs Princess Victoria's behavior and keeps her locked away from the world. Sir John says it's for the princess's safety, but Victoria herself is convinced that it's to keep her lonely and unhappy. Torn between loyalty to her father and her growing friendship with the willful and passionate princess, Miss V has a decision to make: continue in silence or speak out. In an engaging, immersive tale, Lucy Worsley spins one of England's best-known periods into a fresh and surprising story that will delight both young readers of historical fiction and fans of the television show featuring Victoria.

I enjoyed the story immensely and found this imagined reconstruction of Victoria’s childhood quite fun and in line with many known facts. The reading was a bit fast but the reader did really well with all the voices. Having Albert as one of the pivotal characters with quite clever. Would love to see this as a movie, actually. Thank you, Lucy Worley!

I enjoyed the book more as it went along...it is very sad and gloomy much of the time...and then I was dismayed by developments...but I enjoyed the surprise ending quite a lot. My recommendation is to stick with it and be rewarded for your time.

Fascinating but gloomy

This book was a perfect distraction for my commute. Enough historical detail.for the characters to be real, with enough fiction to make it a really fun read.
