Description
By command of the queen, you are hereby directed to be present at . . .
There’s a lot to get done ahead of the queen’s coronation – and even more so when your livelihood is at stake.
Lucy Jones is Junior Wardrobe Assistant to the queen, but dreams of being a singer. Caroline Brimstone loves her role as the queen’s Assistant Dresser, but behind closed doors fights for a better life for herself and her daughter. Meanwhile, Miranda Miller, an undercover journalist in the Coronation Office’s planning committee, needs an inside scoop to keep her job – the only thing she has left.
They are all running away from their own demons but, in order to succeed, they must shed their feelings of shame, trust themselves and reclaim their lives.
As Queen Elizabeth II takes the throne, will these three women also be able to take their rightful places in the world?
The Queen's Coronation is an unforgettable tale of female resilience, friendship and having the courage to seize your future.

Reviewer 1491639
such a wonderful book that took me a lot deeper than i thought it would both in heart and emotional levels to the books and the woman we get to meet. woman i very quickly felt strongly for as i got to know them. the woman interweave perfectly amongst the story and i found myself connecting to many things about them and what they were going through even though it was years ago. sad how time really doesn't always move on for some people in this world, or should i say for some(one gender)ugh.
this is called the Queens Coronation because it follows that period and event in time. all woman are preparing for it in their own way and this is when we meet them.
Caroline is married to someone who no one would wish she was with. she can only dream of a different life for herself. but does it have to be a dream?
Lucy has spark and dreams of her own. sadly she thinks(or maybe rightly) she think this might harbour on finding the right men to show her find her the way to make them come true.
Miranda is a journalist. stuck in a mans world and all that feels against her in life and especially in work. she has to work harder to fit, to succeed or even stay in her job. that means she is desperate, always in urgent need to find the next scoop. could this be the time she finds the big story.
the Queen might be a woman finding her throne. but that doesn't mean the world is willing to let our woman stand tall on their own.
this book was just brilliant. i was completely taken in by it and for the whole read it was like being wrapped in its world. i could picture the time, places and people. i could feel so much for the woman. and so much not just because i felt i got to know them but also of the things just being a woman made them face to live, work, and even be safe and alive.
i was rooting with a fierce heart for them all to be ok and find a better future. or even just a better present to be fair. and knowing history and knowing truths i also knew this might not always be the case which added more feeling to the read.
i love how all the woman were very different. they all had the flaws and strengths and they all have their situations and i was rooting for all of them. more than once i wanted to swoop in and help them.
i actually loved this book. im not used to historical fiction of this period and really enjoyed it. the genre is one my favourites and so finding a good books within that feels even more special.
