In 1851, after years of speculation and waiting, Victoria's accession to the throne is finally announced. The new monarch is met with a range of reactions, from awe and respect to suspicion and fear. To her people, Victoria is a symbol of hope and change, and she quickly sets about asserting her authority. But Victoria is also a woman confronted with the challenges of ruling a country in a time of great change. She must balance tradition with modernity, work with her ministers to forge a cohesive government, and keep her people safe from the dangers of the world beyond England's shores. As she embarks on her reign, Victoria must also be careful not to let her emotions get the best of her, or she could find herself lost in the tides of history.; 8vo; 320 pages.
