When Victoria is 17, the discussions begin about her future marriage. At times she comes across as a precocious brat and at other times as a wise woman who wants to model her life on her heroine, Queen Elizabeth I. Victoria is helpless to stop him from doing the same when she’s young, but hate him she does, as the reader can discern from the capital letters and underlined portions in her journal, which also indicate a fiery temper. Victoria’s mother is a widow and has allowed Sir John Conroy to run her life.
As this novel is based on the real princess’s actual journals, the reader carefully follows the people closest to Victoria, for they anticipate what kind of person she will be and how she will rule. Everything about her life is under constant examination and comment from those who are grooming her for this incredible role. Princess Victoria will be Queen of England sometime in the future.
