Summary

Summary

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

She was the Queen of England, wife of "mad" King George III. But neither her king, her country, nor her lover knew … SHE WAS OF AFRICAN DESCENT!

In this sweeping portrait of one of England's most unexplored yet beloved queens, award-winning writer Tina Andrews (Sally Hemings, An American Scandal) combines meticulous research with her adept mastery for "connecting historical dots." Her new novel boldly imagines the aristocratic intrigue, sexual deviance, and family dysfunction in the odyssey of Charlotte Sophia (1744–1818) whose ethnicity has remained a disputed and controversial secret for three centuries.

Editorial Reviews

“Narrator Adjoa Andoh delivers an epic journey through fifty years in the life of Charlotte Sophia, the first Moorish queen of England…Andoh shifts smoothly between emotions as she cares for her sick husband; attempts to pass anti-slave-trade legislation; and deals with blackmail, murder, depravity, and insanity. The audiobook is enlightening. Andoh is amazing. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
