Princess Louise is Queen Victoria’s fourth daughter and, as such, has many responsibilities to the crown and her country. But Louise pushes back on the norm, persuading her mother to let her practice as a sculptor, despite it being a man’s field, and secretly supporting the women’s suffrage movement, since her mother doesn’t approve.
The story told by Moore is based on a lot of research, which was really interesting when it came to the nuances of royal living but also made Princess Louise’s story less dramatic than I was expecting. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading about the princess’s determination. She continued to hold onto hope when her father died, when her siblings were on opposite sides of war, and when her search for a husband took unexpected turns.
Princess Louise and her family are English, and all of their spouses were European, including German, English, and Scottish. The mature content rating is for innuendo and for mentions of scandal and prostitutes.
