This fictional account of Queen Elizabeth discovering books and reading late in life is sweet and a beautiful tribute to books. Book darts cover the pages of Alan Bennett’s work as I noted smart sentences, books I am interested in, and brilliant replies from the Queen. I really enjoyed this book on an afternoon when I needed an emotional lift. I loved being reminded of the value of reading and how transformative books have been for me. I also liked the invitation to simply write (even when you may not publish). I recommend this for readers - worthy of an afternoon in your reading nook.
