Alanna Smith's Reviews > Monarch: The Life and Reign of Elizabeth II

As I was reviewing We Two, I realized that I forgot to ever write up a review of this gem!

Watching the movie The Queen, for which Lacey was the on-site history specialist, made me curious to read more about Elizabeth II. She's a remarkable woman who has managed to continually adapt the crown in order to keep her people happy with having a rather expensive, figurehead monarchy (a feat most other monarchies failed at centuries ago). This book made me admire Elizabeth II a lot; it's a great read!
