The Summer of the Royal Visit
The Summer of the Royal Visit
Author: Isabel Colegate
It is the summer of 1876 and all of Bath feverishly prepares for the impending visit of Queen Victoria. Almost as exciting is the competition for the design of a new hotel that will restore Bath's fading reputation for elegance. But behind the public spectacle, private mischief is brewing that puts everyone in danger - even Queen Victoria.

I found this book rather dry. The author has won some awards and the reviews from the UK were quite effusive. It may be more my fault than the book's fault. From the blurb, I was expecting some similar to E.F. Benson, Angela Thirkell or even Barbara Pym writing about the impact of the Queen's visit on a small village. It was really nothing similar to that. I finished it and it wasn't awful...I just got rather bored!

 reviewed The Summer of the Royal Visit on
Historical fiction set in a provincial English spa town. A quick read, but not the best novel - characters a bit too unrealistic.
