The Queen and Lord M is the second book in the Victoria series and picks up where the last book, The Captive of Kensington Palace, left off with an eighteen year old Victoria being woken in the middle of the night to be told that she is now the Queen of England.

Plaidy plays on the lack of a father figure in Victoria's life (Hers died when she was a young child) and weaves together a very realistic relationship between the Queen and her Prime Minister. She also focuses once ... Read the complete review
