Representaion Toward Books Prisoners in the Palace

London, 1838. Sixteen-year-old Liza's dreams of her society debut are dashed when her parents are killed in an accident. Penniless, she accepts the position of lady's maid to young Princess Victoria and steps unwittingly into the gossipy intrigue of the servant's world below-stairs as well as the trickery above. Is it possible that her changing circumstances may offer Liza the chance to determine her own fate, find true love, and secure the throne for her future queen? Meticulously based on newly discovered information, this riveting novel is as rich in historical detail as Catherine, Called Birdy, and as sizzling with intrigue as The Luxe.

Notice Based On Books Prisoners in the Palace

"Prisoners in the Palace: How Princess Victoria Became Queen with the Help of Her Maid, a Reporter, and a Scoundrel" - written by Michaela MacColl and published in 2010 by Chronicle. The full title tells you that this is a light, fictional account, but it is also well-grounded in historical fact. The future Queen Victoria waits to ascend the throne (for the present King to die) while being treated rather shabbily as a poor relation who some would rather did not exist. A lonely teenager, she is

I felt like Will and Liza's relationship developed to fast to be realistic. In the book, the author doesn't elaborate on their meetings much, for a novel of 'intrigue and romance'.

I really enjoyed this book. Historical fiction can be tricky. You need to provide enough historically accurate information and detail to be true to the time period, but you also want to be able to add in some creative liberties. It is really a fine balance to get just the right mix while keeping the story engaging and fun to read. I think MacColl has achieved this balance beautifully.The main details of Victorias childhood are more or less accurate. The main character, Liza, is fictional. But

I usually avoid historical novels like the plague. Seriously. For some reason, I just cant get into most of them and I tend to get lost very easily. Which is why I dragged my feet when I first opened Prisoners In The Palace. It had to be read out of obligation, but I didnt expect to like it enough to review it. Surprise!Prisoners In The Palace is one of the best historical novels Ive read so far. Michaela MacColl manages to mix the history of Queen Victoria with scandal and romance so gracefully



Oh my! This book is LIT! one of the best regency books I've read. I haven't read regency books for like, ages, and this one just woke me up from hibernation. I admit, I avoid reading historical fiction because I feel like this genre would bore me to pieces but because of this book, I might consider reading historical fiction my utmost priority from this time henceforth. haha.This is a page turner. Very hard to put down. Was able to read it in 24 hours (of course, I have work, and I've to sleep).

To most, Queen Victoria is better known as the Queen of Britain, the woman to start the trend of white wedding dresses, Britains longest reigning monarch or simply the serious looking old woman in royal portraits who famously declared, we are not amused.But before any of that, she was simply Princess Victoria. A young girl, ruled over by her over protective mother, living an unhappy existence under the oppressive Kensington System, waiting in the wings to become Queen.Michaela MacColls Prisoners
