Using Victoria's private journals and correspondence, Charlot aims to draw an intimate portrait of the queen who, she argues, was a woman of warmth and sincerity and not the repressive matriarch of popular myth. The book also shows the queen coming to grips with the political demands of her rule in her early years, and describes the role of her husband in administering the realm and managing the family.
