Victoria’s Royal Secret, is an historical mystery novel which makes sensational claims; is so thoroughly researched that one frequently forgets that the story is fiction.
The novel is a cross-century jigsaw puzzle which plaits the destinies of three women who give their versions of a story that leads to its controversial conclusions.
Sarah, the modern heroine, inherits Princess Victoria’s missing diary along with the journal of Lady Flora Hastings, lady in waiting to the young princess.
Lady Flora Hastings journal suggests that she too is unlucky in love but there is a strong contrast between modern London and the repressed sexuality of the Victorian era.
Princess Victoria’s diary contains further revelations about the role of Sir John when she discovers his relationship with her mother.
