When her corgis lead her to a mobile library, the Queen of England borrows a book and discovers reading. Soon she devours authors like Hardy, Brookner, Proust or Beckett, and her new passion begins to interfere with her official duties, to the great alarm of her staff. The Queen no longer sees the world the same way.
