For last month’s Dufferin Clark Book Club I read Mrs. Queen Takes the Train. As the title suggests the story is about Queen Elizabeth Of England, who, feeling that she no longer has a relevant role in the modern world, takes an unexpected opportunity to slip away from her minders (disguised by a borrowed hoodie) and take a train trip to visit her beloved yacht Britannia which is moored in Scotland, a place that hold many happy memories. Her vanishing act leads to a chase by some royal attendants (a lady-in-waiting, a butler, an equerry, a girl from the stables, a dresser, and a clerk from the shop that supplies Her Majesty’s cheese) who want to bring her back before her disappearance causes a scandal. All ends happily and brings unexpected alliances, friendships, and even love between the various characters, including the Queen. It was an enjoyable light read and I would definitely recommend it.
