merelvh's review against another edition
4.0
3,5 stars*
(I received an e-arc of this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review)
The Private Life of Victoria: Queen, Empress, Mother of the Nation, is a nonfiction book centered around queen Victoria.
I found the book to be rather interesting, since I did not know a lot about queen Victoria before reading it, which made this book perfect for me. However, if you already know a lot about her I’m not sure if you would learn anything new from reading this book.
I like how this book gave an overview of her life before and during her reign instead of only focusing on the period where she was queen. I also liked that there were little quotes included from het personal diaries and that there were a few pictures included.
Sometimes things could get a little confusing, though, because there are a lot of different persons and names in the book. A list of persons or a family tree of some sort would be helpful for this.
Overall, I enjoyed learning more about queen Victoria, and I certainly learned some new things but if you already know a lot about this topic I think this book would be too brief for you.
I would rate this book 3,5 out of 5 stars.
