Princess Margaret Alexandrovna Valensky, AKA Daisy, has it all: loving parents, a title preceding her name and money that grows on trees--until tragedy strikes. Before you can say, oh here we go again, Daisy's charmed life is turned upside down when she is forced to face a painful past... and an unsure future. Judith Krantz's fans can rest easy; the author's second outing after the megahit Scruples is a winner. PRINCESS DAISY is a compelling yarn of the rich and rotten, jam-packed with beautiful people, lavish settings, designer clothes and plenty of skin. Daisy and friends are an exciting bunch of characters; unidimensional, perhaps, but fun. Their world of champagne and caviar is a celebrated experience no matter what. Yes, Krantz spreads it thick on the over-the-top scale, but who cares. The novel works. It is as grand and as sinful as those secrets her heroine so desperately wants to hide. Go on, indulge, for PRINCESS DAISY is classy stuff in escapism fiction.-----Martin Boucher
