Discussion about Charles Spencer's book - Swan Song : Diana, my sister , Beautiful, Beloved, Hunted.

[BasiliskStare]

I know there is a thread about the theft of some pre publication editions of this book.
This thread is more by way of a book club discussion about the actual book , the text. Threads will go where they will , but my intention is this is more for me to give my opinion on the book and for others who read it or are interested in the book to join in. I have pre-ordered from Kindle (half price otherwise I may not have 😊) But is only available on September 22nd. So a holding place if you like.

Which makes me wonder at the wisdom of the QM etc thinking Diana a suitable match (?) 19 & malleable? Her mother had deserted her - she was vulnerable, badly affected.

Her mother hadn't abandoned her. She had escaped from an abuser and violent alcoholic. She tried to gain custody of the children, but it was awarded to her ex-husband (in part due to her own mother's testimony).

Interesting. Not how CS frames but prob that’s unsurprising. Diana badly affected regardless.
