Victoria and Albert

Rain cleaned the air today. I'm reading on my Kindle A Magnificent Obsession: Victoria, Albert, and the Death That Changed the British Monarchy. It describes the relationship between Victoria and Albert and how his death shattered her and drove her into seclusion to the extent that her reluctance to perform the monarch's public duties created a political crisis. I'm enjoying it. I like history and biographies, and I take an interest in the British monarchy.
