This is a very interesting and thought-provoking book. I remember hearing about Princess Diana's death and being extremely sad. My heart went out to her young boys.
This is a good book! (

Do you remember

Beautifully written and perfectly constructed. We all remember where we were and what we were doing but we really don't know the whole story. The author does a wonderful job of outlining not only that tragic day but events that led up to it. The book is also rich with pictures. (

Sad and tragic story of the "People's Princess." It starts the evening of her death and then recounts the days, weeks and months leading up to it. How terribly sad. (
