The uncommon reader review5/22/2023 Although it isn’t that good, she reads it anyway and returns it the following week, taking another book with her. She has just discovered that a mobile library pops by the palace every Wednesday and, once aboard and exploring, decides to borrow a book. In The Uncommon Reader, the main character is none other than Queen Elizabeth II herself. It concerns a very important woman indeed, and has a very important message. I headed for a book that hasn’t been on my shelf long, but I’ve been aware of and meaning to read for years. With wind and rain lashing the south of England, and the skies the colour of a particularly nasty bruise, the only sensible course of action was to buckle down with a novella and hope that neither the roof blew off or lightning destroyed the shed. “At Windsor it was the evening of the state banquet and as the president of France took his place beside Her Majesty, the royal family formed up behind and the procession slowly moved off and through into the Waterloo Chamber.”
