Very interesting and well-researched story about the young girl given to Queen Victoria as a "gift" from an African king involved in the slave trade. Sarah is raised in England and in Sierra Leone, but eventually settles in England where she visits frequently with the royal family. A fascinating portrait of the upper-class in England during the Victorian era, and a girl who is thrown into that in a most unusual way.
