Bookshop_Lady Princess Diana and John Kennedy, Jr., two of the "beautiful people" who lived so much of their lives in the public eye that we all felt we knew them. (see more) Both taken suddenly, unexpectedly, and much too soon. If you're of an age to have been affected by Diana's death, you'll probably find yourself affected by the account of the death of the President's son.

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.

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!

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.
