About the Author

She has also written biographies of Vivien Leigh, Margaret Mitchell, Katharine Hepburn, and Sonya, Countess Tolstoy.
From Booklist
There have been so many books written about Princess Diana, it is hard to believe the world needs another. But, unlike most of the titles on the Diana shelf, especially Sally Bedell Smith's recent Diana in Search of Herself , which made the case for the princess as a "borderline personality," this one doesn't sink into armchair pyschology nor does it take sides. Edwards, a well-known biographer whose subjects have included a host of women from Margaret Mitchell to Barbra Streisand, offers a competent, compact life story that gives all the details without wallowing in them. After several chapters of Spencer family history, Edwards goes on to describe how the insecure 19-year-old Lady Diana Spencer became positioned to become Prince Charles' wife--long before either of them really knew what they were getting into. Charles thought young Diana would be a compliant wife who would give him sons and ignore his long-standing relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles. She gave him sons, but Diana was always looking for the fairy-tale romance she felt she had been promised. The book goes on to chronicle how things cascaded downhill from there. Although a little light on source notes, this is an engaging, well-written biography and a good antidote for the more sensationalized Diana books. Ilene Cooper
