Format:Paperback
An excellent fictional account of the reign of Queen Victoria, told in diary form. It shows Victoria to be a funny, emotional, stubborn person with faults just like the rest of us - not the two dimensional caricature in widows weeds as she is portrayed as in some books. A moving account, it features her lonely childhood and struggles in early marriage, the loss of three of her children and the death of her husband. However, it is not all doom and gloom, there are some very funny moments - Victoria has a good sense of humour and at times is most definitely "amused".
I loved this book and will without doubt read it again and again, over the years. It is a treat amongst historical fiction.

a beautiful love story
23 Sep 1997
Format:Hardcover
This is the loveliest love story I have ever read. Cynthia Harrod-Eagles is the master of the historical novel. Her Dynasty books are a MUST READ. I, Victoria, is a wonderfully rich account of what we wished Queen Victoria's life with Prince Albert was like. My favourite author without a doubt

Incoherent. A very poor work of literature
7 Dec 1998
Format:Hardcover
This autobiography is not to be compared with Rosalind Miles "I, Elizabeth" or any of the novels by Margartet Georges ("The Memoirs of Cleopatra" "Mary Queen of Scots" and "Henry VIII") or Robert K. Massie's "Peter the Great"(non fiction). I was under the impresion that I was going to read a well organized story like the ones I mentioned. I was wrong. Suddenly she talks about her looks, then about some relatives that does not like pictures, then she talks about some relatives, about her husband etc. etc.etc. Why can't the book start with something like "I was born in ...." and then keep a chronological sequence of events, and introduce all the characters in that order? Very poor literature.
