"When she appeared, every eye was turned toward her; when absent she was the subject of universal conversation"

An undeniable beauty, born into the Spencer family, becomes an influential hostess and the undisputed queen of fashion. Adored by the general public, but unable to retain the love of her husband she turns her hand towards fund-raising and socializing for the benefit of others. Declared the most fascinating woman of her time, her search for love brought only pain and disgrace.

Now re-read the name on the title! This is a superbly researched and presented biography which so closely mirrors recent events it's spooky.

This is a copy I picked up at a car-boot sale, so available immediately.

NetStation kindly brought this along to the meet-up for me. Grateful thanks to him. I will journal it after I've finished reading.

Released at CoffeeLink at BC meet-up
