This makes a lot of sense to me, because at times, the book feels a lot like a novelization, broken up cinematically into scenes and moments rather than following a more novelistic structure. Goodwin is the screenwriter for the Victoria series, and she notes in the book’s acknowledgments that she wrote the novel as she was writing the screenplay for the series. I’ve really enjoyed Goodwin’s novels in the past, so I had high hopes for this one - but, unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Ahead of this Sunday’s upcoming premiere of Victoria on Masterpiece here in the United States, I ordered a copy of Daisy Goodwin’s companion novel.
