The first-person narration of Victoria's life and loves, taking her from plump, pouting girlhood to the unamused "grandmother of Europe," unfolds replete with familiar incidents and anecdotes of her 64-year reign. The cast of male supporters is large: the dominating consort, Prince Albert; the reprobate heir, "Bertie," who could never please his royal parents; the men on whom she depended: ministers like Disraeli and Gladstone, servants like Scotsman John Brown. For young or unsophisticated readers, this is an uncomplicated introduction to Victoria's many roles.

It is October 1844. With the death of the evil Colonel Mahon and the end of the greatest potato famine in living memory, it seems peace and prosperity are finally on the way to Ballynockanor.

Trying to find his way to Ireland and to his beloved wife, Joseph fights against the forces that seek to block their reunion.
This fourth book in the Galway Chronicles portrays the impact of the tragic potato famine that would kill or displace a third of the population of Ireland.
