The Daughters of England series is one of Victoria Holt’s longest works, running 22 books from The Miracle at St. Bruno’s (1972) through to Daughters of England (1995). Written under her Philippa Carr pen name as well, the series follows a single English family across generations, with each book centering on a different woman whose life unfolds against a backdrop of real historical events.
The series spans from the Reformation through the twentieth century, and the generational structure gives readers a unique way to experience English history through personal stories rather than political summaries. Each book works reasonably well on its own, but the family connections and recurring locations reward readers who follow the full sequence.
