My Name is Victoria
My Name is Victoria | Lucy Worsley
11 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 18 to read
'You are my sister now,' Victoria said, quietly and solemnly. 'Never forget it. I love you like a sister, and you are my only friend in all the world.' 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. Miss V's father has devised a strict set of rules for the young princess, which he calls the Kensington System. It governs her behaviour and keeps her locked away from the world. He says it is for the princess's safety, but Victoria herself is convinced that it is to keep her lonely, and unhappy. Torn between loyalty to her father and her growing friendship with the wilful and passionate Victoria, Miss V has a decision to make: to continue in silence, or to speak out. By turns thrilling, dramatic and touching, this is the story of Queen Victoria's childhood as you've never heard it before.

I‘ve had this book for a while, but I just never seemed to get around to reading it until the last few days. It was an interesting premise, but it never really pulled me in. With the way the Kensington System was organized and the little that is truly known about Victoria‘s childhood, this story presents some serious fictional what ifs. I‘m also not sure it has enough action to hold the attention of many YA readers.

Finally finished this baby! It's pretty obvious from like chapter 4 how the book is gonna end and I loved The Young Victoria film way more but it's a fun fluffy historical fiction by a pretty well known lady.

My #LitsyHandle is not exciting-- first initial, last name, and NC for my state, North Carolina. When I joined Litsy I just decided to use the same as my Twitter handle. @Chelleo

Chelleo I totally didn‘t think your first name was Mallen 🤦🏾‍♀️ I‘m afraid these confessions are really going to give folks a bad impression of me 😭🤣 6y
MallenNC @Chelleo I would answer to that! 6y
Lcsmcat @Chelleo I thought the same thing, and thought “what a pretty name!” 6y

Queen Victoria is one of my favourite queens 👸🏼 My favourite place in London is Kensington Palace, especially the rooms where she grew up! She was such an amazing woman!
