A Most English Princess: A Novel of Queen Victoria’s Daughter by Clare McHugh

Over 600 5-Star Reviews!

To the world, she was Princess Victoria, daughter of a queen, wife of an emperor, and mother of Kaiser Wilhelm. Her family just called her Vicky… smart, pretty, and self-assured, she changed the course of the world.

January 1858: Princess Victoria glides down the aisle of St James Chapel to the waiting arms of her beloved Fritz, Prince Frederick, heir to the powerful kingdom of Prussia. Although theirs is no mere political match, Vicky is determined that she and Fritz will lead by example, just as her parents Victoria and Albert had done, and bring about a liberal and united Germany.

Brought up to believe in the rightness of her cause, Vicky struggles to thrive in the constrained Prussian court, where each day she seems to take a wrong step. Her status as the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria does little to smooth the conflicts she faces.

But handsome, gallant Fritz is always by her side as they navigate court intrigue, challenge the cunning Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, and fight for the throne—and the soul of a nation. At home, they endure tragedy, including their son Wilhelm rejecting all they stand for.

From her younger years as the apple of her father Albert’s eye through her rise to power atop the mighty German empire, this is the enthralling story of Victoria, the Princess Royal.

The Latecomers by Helen Klein Ross

Over 150 5-Star Reviews!

A deeply moving family drama about a young Irish immigrant, an ancestral home in New England, and a dark secret hidden in its walls for five generations.

In 1908, sixteen-year-old Bridey runs away from her small town in Ireland with her sweetheart, Thom. But when Thom dies suddenly of ship fever during their ocean crossing, Bridey finds herself alone and pregnant in a strange new world.

Forced to give up her baby for adoption, Bridey finds work as a maid for the Hollingworth family at their lavish, sprawling estate. It’s the dawn of a new century: innovative technologies are emerging, women’s roles are changing, and Bridey is emboldened by the promise of a fresh start. She cares for the Hollingworth children as if they were her own—until a mysterious death changes Bridey and the household forever.

For decades, the terrible secrets of Bridey’s past haunt the family. In the present day, the youngest Hollingworth makes a connection that finally brings these dark ghost stories into the light.

Told in interweaving timelines and rich with history, romance, and dark secrets, The Latecomers spans a century of American life and reminds us that we can never truly leave the past behind.
