Book Reviews of Diana
Book Review: an even-handed account of one of the most fascinating stories of our times
Summary: 5 Stars
Princess Diana is properly one of the most, if not the most known personality of our times. We have all our own recollections of her life. I had been in the crowds when she married the PoW and I had been in London during the days of her funeral. In one way or the other she had an impact on us. Many books had been written about her - some just presenting her side of the sotory, other of course the one of the PoW and more recently just books trying to make money of her name by selling so-called secrets. Still unresolved what really happened in Paris as the investigations are still on-going. Of course, the marriage of the PoW and CBP revivded much of the controversy.
So is this one of the typical books on Diana? NO it is not. For the first time an author tries to gibe as mcuh as possible an even handed account. Sarah Bradford achieves this. She is neither besotted by Diana, nor is she against her. She recognizes her extraordinary qualities without forgetting the darkes sides. The same applies to the PoW. Reading this remarkable account of Diana's life one feesl the drama, the emotions, the happiness, the sadness. Diana4s and Charles's incompatibility is exposed but not in terms of pointing the finger to one side. It is qn extraordinary story and one often wonders why all this had to happen. This books gives explanations and creates understanding. It gives one as well an insdie into the life and morals of the 3upper classes3. Judge for yourself. It is definetely worthwhile reading.
From all the books I have read insofar on Diana I feel that this is by far one of the best. It does justice to all involved.
