Fabulous insight into Victorian family life
As an avid fan of Royal History I have read many books on the life of Queen Vic. This book provides another dimension - an insight into the personal lives of her daughters ( and to some extent her sons) and their relationships with not only their parents but their siblings, their husbands and indeed their own children. Impossible to put down - an absolute must for any fans of historical biography!

The book was very informative in regards to the daughters
This book gave a clearer understanding of the daughters being true sisters to one another just like any other normal family. This is the first book I have read that gave a clear view of what Queen Victoria's daughters fears, loves and hopes were all about.

A Good Read
An excellent book which was hard to put down. Victoria had a large family but generally only the link to the current British Royal Family is the subject of scrutiny.
This book covers the five daughters of Victoria and more importantly Vicky and Alice. Vicky was the mother of the German Kaiser and Alice's daughter Alexandra was to be the last Tsarina of Russia. Two major events in history.
