This audiobook may not have been recorded with the proper equipment. It is annoying to listen to. It is also wordy....some things are said over and over. Of course, that could be because the cd skips, repeats, and is otherwise defective.

Goodreads review by Gabrielle on June 25, 2021

1997 and 1998 were very rough years: my parents divorced in the spring of 97 and my beloved grandfather passed away in January 98. Through all this, I also remember all the headlines about Princess Diana’s death. I was thirteen, and while a lot of the implications of her death eluded me at the time,......more

Goodreads review by *TUDOR^QUEEN* on November 17, 2021

I have the heavy, original hardcover of this book from back in 2006. It has a beautiful black and white picture of Princess Diana on the cover.

Goodreads review by Ekaterina on April 10, 2019

Being drawn, like so many others, to the story of the unforgettable Lady Diana, I was favourably surprised by how balanced and well-researched this book is and how carefully it treats its subject, avoiding any scandalous notes. Modest as my background in history may be, I appreciate such an approach......more

Goodreads review by Jamie on December 06, 2023

I'll be honest...I only picked this up because the audiobook was narrated by the late great Katherine Kellgren. I don't have a particular interest in the royal family, and the Princess Diana fever was a little before my time (or when I was too young to really tune in). I haven't even made it far eno......more


Quotes

The definitive biography. In this authoritative account, Bradford paints a revealing, accurate portrait of a complex woman flawed and adored in equal measure.—Daily Telegraph

Readers will find themselves gripped by this gloriously gossipy account. Bradford is even-handed and unafraid.—Jeremy Lewis, Sunday Times Books of the Year

Diana is Sarah Bradford's excellent and authoritative new biography of the most extraordinary woman in recent history ... Sarah Bradford has set a high standard for the others to follow—Virginia Blackburn, Daily Express

You feel from this book that you know the woman as she probably was, and that is because, perhaps for the first time, a grown-up has written about her—Adam Nicolson, Evening Standard

Bradford has a real grasp of history and the ability to make it spark into new life—Sunday Telegraph

A woman of intelligence and taste ... Bradford is an excellent writer who has produced a balanced and well-researched biography.—Philip Hensher, Spectator

A very sad story. Bradford tells it eloquently, but it's her admirable detachment that leaves one pitying all, not one, of the characters involved.—Antonia Fraser, Guardian Books of the Year
