Queen Charlotte arrives in Trade Paperback

March 5, 2024

GOOD NEWS! Whether you saw the show or it’s still in your Netflix queue, there has never been a better time to pick up your very own copy of the JQ + Shonda Rhimes collaboration novel from the Bridgerton World: Queen Charlotte. Why? Today, for the first time, you can get Queen Charlotte in trade paperback.

#AuthorAnswersQuestions: Is the novel different from the show? Yes! The storyline in the book is true to the show, but where the show gives us lush settings and brilliant actors portraying the characters, the book takes readers into the heads of four of the main characters. Four very different voices: Charlotte, George, Agatha (Lady Danbury), and Brimsley.

The excerpt posted on JuliaQuinn.com includes Chapters One and Two: Charlotte’s narrative, then George’s. (Excerpts: there’s one for every book!)

EXTRAS! To celebrate the trade paperback release, JQ has posted the Queen Charlotte Soundtrack complete with commentary for each song as to why she associates it with Queen Charlotte.
