From the little of Diana's persona I knew before this, my eyes were opened to the history of the "People's Princess". Her intuition was spot on for many things, and her poise and confidence dazzled the world. Yet behind that, Andrew Morton revealed a haughty, self-destructive, and insecure girl. How she suffered in silence, oppressed by the most influential & feared family in Britain! It was invigorating to witness across the pages Diana grow into the facade she was forced to create. Morton writes so that each of the seismic shifts in her life trajectory are felt.

Definitely worth a read & well said from the back summary - that this is the closest we will come to an autobiography from Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales & of the World.
