Victoria and Albert by Richard Hough (Hardcover) from the dustjacket: Victoria's reign embraced the industrialization of Britain, the creation of numerous inventions, and advances in transport undreamed of when she had come to the throne as a girl of barely eighteen years. Victoria and Albert had nine children and became the archetype of the nineteenth century family. But the outside world knew nothing of the passionate and turbulent relationship between the queen and her consort. Thunderous rows grew from the most trivial origins and threatened to tear the two apart, but always the sun of reconciliation and love finally broke through the storms.
