Mum's the Word 14 Oct 2003
By Josie
Format:Hardcover
If you thought you'd read everything on Diana you are wrong! This is a fascinating book, and shows the power of the Monarchy over anyone stepping out of line. It's intriguing to think what might have become of Diana, and here we get a real sense - from the one person who knew her better than anyone else - her own mother. Loved the bit about Frances' almost idyllic childhood which sets it up nicely for the betrayals that happen later. It's very well done.

Frances 11 Feb 2010
Format:Hardcover
A lot of bad has been written about Princess Diana's mother. This sheds a new light on her and it would seem she is not such a bad person after all!

A Page Turner 29 Oct 2003
Format:Hardcover
An exciting book, in which we are swept through the life of a truly interesting woman, learning amazing things about her and even more amazing things about her famous daughter, the Princess of Wales, things that only a mother could reveal. We hear about Frances' reservations about Diana's betrothal and marriage to Prince Charles, and feel for her as she describes the night Diana was killed.

Not only do we gain an insight into the life of a wealthy aristocratic woman from a famous aristocratic family, but we learn more about the Royal Family, from a new and as yet unheard perspective.

This book reads fluently - we aren't besieged with boring wedges of history. It comes across as well researched, not merely conjecture and there are some great photos.

I found it gripping, and unusually for a biography, felt I did not want to put it down.

A delightful read. Go buy it for your Mum for Christmas.
