Summary
Victoria went through her life, 63 years of reign. The Grandmother of Europe. That history was written from the moment she was born, because as a mortal, one always had to live through unbearable foolishness only to gain little wisdom in old age. So she lived then died, full of hindsight. Now she is offered a chance to restart all over again, at the fateful morning of 1837. With what she knew and what she wished she had known, no longer a young naive maiden of 18 but an older woman with regrets, what different choices could she make?

"Do you want some of the communion wine?" he blurted out, wanting her to stick around for a little longer. "I can't throw it away because it's holy," he explained, "and I probably shouldn't finish the bottle by myself. It's a good vintage."
She cocked an eyebrow. "Is this the part where I say 'Sorry, Daddy, I've been a bad girl'?"
He coughed and nearly dropped the bottle. "'Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned' is more traditional," he managed, fishing out two glasses and pouring them both a liberal serving.

Summary
"There’s a tiny part of her, perhaps a couple of cells in her pinky toe, that is re-considering whether this is a good idea, but then they’re both kneeling in a communion booth in a dark church, hiding from their troubles, and she is desperately lonely and desperately frightened and desperate, just plain desperate, she knows she’ll be lost the second he touches her."

Summary
She was young, he’d been right, and so small. She couldn’t have been much above five feet tall, and it certainly had been an odd sensation looking down at his new monarch. But there was a strength in her voice – a strength with a tremor, for sure, and a lot of fake confidence that anyone with any observational skills would see right through – but a strength that had surprised him, given her history. She hadn’t been completely cowed by Conroy, he thought a little triumphantly. There was a fire in her eyes, an eagerness to succeed, but a wariness. She couldn’t hide her fear, no matter how imperiously she looked at him, how high she held her chin.
Or, the one where Lord Melbourne becomes Private Secretary to a twenty-two-year-old Queen Victoria sometime in 2017.
