About this listen
May of Teck, only daughter of a noble family fallen from grace, has been selected to marry the troublesome Prince Eddy, heir to the British throne. Submitting to the wishes of Queen Victoria and under pressure from her family, young May agrees. But just as a spark of love and devotion arises between the young couple, Prince Eddy dies of influenza. To her horror, May discovers she is to be married to the brother, Georgie, instead, a cold and domineering man. But what can she do?
From the author of The Prince of Mirrors comes this gripping account of the life of Queen Mary, one of the most formidable queens of Britain.

Critic reviews
"Clark takes an iconic and forbidding figure and transforms her into a passionate, loving and damaged woman.” (Simon Russell Beale)
“This is a heart-breaking tale and no mistake. A beautiful and lyrical tale told with deft brilliance.” (John Sessions)
“Atmospheric and vividly imagined. Valhalla brings to life a woman who had otherwise seemed frozen in history, its theme of royal duty still all too relevant.” (Margaret Drabble)

What a strange book…
I wish I’d read the physical book as I’d hope the many startling personal revelations would have some factual evidence to support them with supporting references.
The book reads as from inside the mind of Queen Mary, detailing her most intimate thoughts and deeds and in parts reads like fan fiction rather than biography.

Good
Don’t enjoy stories that go that far back. Much prefer the late queen and onward. But this was surprisingly good
