Victoria & Abdul by Shrabani Basu


This is a filler post. I saw a preview at the cinemas for a movie about the friendship between Queen Victoria and her Indian servant towards the end of her life. It was not coming out for another month or so, but I like to read the book first anyways (the movie was obviously based on a book). Unfortunately, I only read about 75 pages before giving up. And I never saw the movie ha.

At a high level, the story seems interesting. In reality, the writing was dry and nothing exciting actually happens. It has more of a historical feel rather than a story (i.e. no conversations). In this sense, the movie would probably be more entertaining.

Not a great post but I felt like writing about it since I gave it a chance. Sometimes you do not strike gold.

My rating for Victoria & Abdul: 1 star out of 5. Get it here!
