Narrative Concering Books Prisoners in the Palace

London, 1838. Sixteen-year-old Liza's dreams of her society debut are dashed when her parents are killed in an accident. Penniless, she accepts the position of lady's maid to young Princess Victoria and steps unwittingly into the gossipy intrigue of the servant's world below-stairs as well as the trickery above. Is it possible that her changing circumstances may offer Liza the chance to determine her own fate, find true love, and secure the throne for her future queen?

Meticulously based on newly discovered information, this riveting novel is as rich in historical detail as Catherine, Called Birdy, and as sizzling with intrigue as The Luxe.

Criticize Epithetical Books Prisoners in the Palace

Terrific historical fiction that romps and roots along at a good clip, intertwining stories of loss, aspirations, family and the tumultous royal family in England in 1836. Victoria is still a princess and remote second for assuming the crown, and lacks a friend. Liza, recently orphaned and from an up and coming trade family, needs a job and access to favors. When she is appointed as a lady to Victoria's caretaker, Liza quickly becomes her friend, confidante, and ultimately, her savior. A

Full disclosure: Im on Chronicle Books Gold Reviewer Panel for their YA books.Recently I was flying to NYC and read a chunk of PRISONERS IN THE PALACE by Michaela MacColl on my 5-hour flight from California. A few days later, my in-laws were watching the movie, Young Victoria, starring Emily Blunt, and I was excited that I knew about young Queen Victorias life from the book I was reading. MacColl tells the story of teenage Victoria before she ascends to the throne as Queen as told through the

I felt like Will and Liza's relationship developed to fast to be realistic. In the book, the author doesn't elaborate on their meetings much, for a novel of 'intrigue and romance'.

This book was love at first look for me. Would you look at that cover? It is so, so gorgeous. Luckily, this book isn't just a pretty cover-the content is so amazing you'll probably end up like me and staying up until 1:30 AM to finish it!Prisoners in the Palace is not only the best historical fiction I've read this year-but it's going on my list of top books of the year as well. I was drawn in from the first page, as Liza's in an interesting predicament. One day, her parents are alive and she's

This book was easily a pleasant surprise. I had bought this book more than a year ago for its cover and because it was on sale, not really expecting much of a fantastic story. Perhaps it was because I also had heard nothing about it. When I picked this book a few days ago, I was excited to learn that this was historical fiction about Queen Victoria before she came to rule. It follows the story of Elizabeth Hastings who hoped to became a proper lady introduced to society and marry a noble man.

I really liked this book.Yes! I know! Surprise surprise! But really, it was good. I'm a moderate fan of historical fiction, but lately I've encountered some that are....well...a little too much fiction and not enough historical. Going into this, I sort of had that feeling towards this book. The cover especially made it seemed a bit like a chic-flic in book form. Boy was I wrong! Liza, though hardly a bad-a**, is though considering the time period and everything she has to deal with. She's brave

I devour books about Queen Victoria, her family, her Court, the society, everything. Its a quirk, I know, and I couldnt tell you why Im so intrigued by that awfully stuffy Queen and her enormous family, but Ill read anything that comes out about her. Which is one of the reasons why I love the mini-explosion of books about Victoria R including the fantastic movie released recently Young Victoria. Not so surprisingly, I loved it.So I was excited to see this novelization of the year leading up to
