Resumen del Editor
On March 1, 1893, Princess Ka’iulani, the 17-year-old crown princess of Hawaii, stepped onto the pier at New York City. She was greeted by a crowd of reporters and onlookers who knew that, in many ways, she stood at a crossroads in history. Fully aware of the significance of her visit, she prayed that she could help persuade the American government to return her beautiful islands to the Hawaiian people.
This biography tells the fascinating and little-known story of Princess Ka’iulani’s life and courageous fight for Hawaiian independence. Using many newly translated journals and letters, Sharon Linnéa introduces young listeners to the most beloved figure in Hawaiian history and one of America’s most overlooked Christian heroines.

Historia
When Queen Mary died in 1953, James Pope-Hennessy was commissioned to write an official biography of her - unusual for a queen consort. Queen Mary's life, contrary to popular belief, was essentially dramatic, and she played a far more important and influential role in the affairs of the British monarchy than her public image might have otherwise suggested. Using material from the Royal Archives, private papers, and Queen Mary's personal diaries and letters, Pope-Hennessy's biography was a remarkable portrait of a remarkable woman and received rave reviews across the press.

Historia
It was the most influential marriage of the 19th Century - and one of history’s most enduring love stories. Traditional biographies tell us that Queen Victoria inherited the throne as a naïve teenager, when the British Empire was at the height of its power, and seemed doomed to find failure as a monarch and misery as a woman until she married her German cousin Albert and accepted him as her lord and master. Now renowned chronicler Gillian Gill turns this familiar story on its head, revealing a strong, feisty queen, and a brilliant, fragile prince working together to build a family.

Historia
The longest reigning British monarch and female sovereign in history, Queen Victoria was a figure of profound paradox who has mystified historians for over a century. Now in this magisterial biography, A.N. Wilson rebukes the conventional wisdom about her life - that she was merely a "funny little woman in a bonnet" who did next to nothing - to show she was in fact intensely involved in state affairs despite a public façade of inaction.

The life of Princess May of Teck is one of the great Cinderella stories in history. From a family of impoverished nobility, she was chosen by Queen Victoria as the bride for her eldest grandson, the scandalous Duke of Clarence, heir to the throne, who died mysteriously before their marriage. Despite this setback, she became queen, mother of two kings, grandmother of the current queen, and a lasting symbol of the majesty of the British throne.

In place of the domestic frump of popular imagination, Patricia Brady resurrects the wealthy, attractive, and vivacious young widow who captivated the youthful George Washington. And even as it brings Martha Washington into sharper and more accurate focus, this sterling life sheds light on her marriage, her society, and the precedents she established for future First Ladies.

In the first single-volume cradle-to-grave portrait in six decades, acclaimed biographer David Michaelis delivers a stunning account of Eleanor Roosevelt’s remarkable life of transformation. An orphaned niece of President Theodore Roosevelt, she converted her Gilded Age childhood of denial and secrecy into an irreconcilable marriage with her ambitious fifth cousin Franklin. Franklin Roosevelt transformed Eleanor from a settlement house volunteer on New York’s Lower East Side into a matching partner in New York’s most important power couple in a generation.

Vicky, Alice, Helena, and Beatrice were historically unique sisters, born to a sovereign who ruled over a quarter of the earth's people and who gave her name to an era: Queen Victoria. Two of these princesses would themselves produce children of immense consequence. All five would curiously come to share many of the social restrictions and familial machinations borne by 19th-century women of less-exulted class.

In 1819, a girl was born to the fourth son of King George III. No one could have expected such an unassuming, overprotected girl to be an effective ruler - yet Queen Victoria would become one of the most powerful monarchs in history. Writing with novelistic flair and historical precision, Kate Williams reveals a vibrant woman in the prime of her life, while chronicling the byzantine machinations that continued even after the crown was placed on her head.

She overcame debilitating roots: in her public life, fighting against racism and injustice and advancing the rights of women; and in her private life, forming lasting intimate friendships with some of the great men and women of her time.

Wonderful!
I didn't know if would be able to get into this book but I was very pleasantly surprised. I was leery it might be dry and slow but it is so well written that it flowed easily and was quite interesting. Princess Ka’iulani was a beautiful person, and made me think of Princess Diana the way she treated others. I was saddened at the end of the story, although I obviously knew she died. I cant imagine the loss everyone must have felt at that time. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

Breathless reader…hate that style
The book is great but its not a “breathless” type of book and the reader forces it.… she could be a good reader but trys too hard and the inflections and emphasis of words and tones is awful to listen to in this type of book!

Perfect!
When I thirst contemplated reading this book it was because I had no idea Hawaii had royalty and that included Hawaiian royalty and Anglo-Saxon royalty. Even though that is lost to us due to the greed that’s still a lot of traditions across the world I am so glad someone decided to write it down for history sake. I found this book interesting I found the history of HawaiiVery interesting and the taking over of Hawaii was the same old same old. With greedy U.S politicians wanting something they did nothing to deserve. did they are. I digress though this is a great book and I found it very interesting the whole thing from beginning to end I loved itvtime. I didn’t know they even had royalty before reading the story now it makes me sad that that is something else lost to history.

Listened to off and on thru out one afternoon. Having lived in Hawaii a couple of times, it was interesting to hear all that happened that led up to Hawaii’s annexation to the US. This book tied in well with James Micheners book Hawaii.

Th life of Princess Ka'iulani
Beautifully written story of the life of Hawaii's most beloved Princess. The narration left a lot to be desired. It sounded like she was reading to a children's class, complete with trying to change her voice to mimic characters in the book. I found it very distracting after awhile and unnecessary. It also would have been nice if she had used the correct pronounciation of many of the Hawaiian names and words that were used.

An Enjoyable Listen
I really enjoyed this book and found it to be very interesting. The author did a good job of tying Ka'iulani's story together with the historical events that were happening around her. she gave a lot of details so that the reader/listener would easily be able to envision the words on the page. However, I would've loved if they had found an actual Hawaiian to narrate this book as I found the narrator's pronunciation of the Hawaiian words distracting. She mispronounced many of them, which made it hard to listen to. Otherwise, it was a good listen.

Excellent!
historical-figures, historical-places-events, historical-research, historical-setting, Hawaii, bravery, kindness, greed
A very moving history of Hawaii and the greed that progressively diminished its importance as told through respected correspondence and newspaper accounts from well over a century ago. But most importantly it is a tribute to the young princess who accomplished much in her short life and why her memory is still important all these years later.
I won this audiobook in a giveaway, but it's certainly worth the money if I had known about it.
Almost forgot to mention that narrator Jessica Schell was wonderful!

Enjoyed this book!
After reading the books description I thought it would be interesting, and I was right. I enjoyed learning about Princess Ka'iulani, Hawiian history and culture.
