Description
Vicky, Alice, Helena, and Beatrice were historically unique sisters, born to a sovereign who ruled over a quarter of the earth's people and who gave her name to an era: Queen Victoria. Two of these princesses would themselves produce children of immense consequence. All five would curiously come to share many of the social restrictions and familial machinations borne by 19th-century women of less-exulted class.
Principally researched at the houses and palaces of its five subjects in London, Scotland, Berlin, Darmstadt, and Ottawa - and entertainingly written by an experienced biographer whose last book concerned Victoria's final days - Victoria's Daughters closely examines a generation of royal women who were dominated by their mother, married off as much for political advantage as for love, and finally passed over entirely with the accession of their brother Bertie to the throne. Jerrold M. Packard provides valuable insights into their complex, oft-tragic lives as daughters of their time.

Cold and removed reader
This is not the right reader for this kind of subject matter or style of writing. I could not finish; it was so monotonous.

Narrator spoils the story
It was almost impossible to listen to this book as the narrator read it without any natural breaks. She joined together sentences that were probably different paragraphs and the meaning got muddled. It was just so hard to listen to her reading.
Sometimes the writer skipped through the decades and then without pause the text went back to another time period. I was interested in the subject but I hated the way it was read.
