I know, I know, I keep saying that I'm not going to read any more Erickson and then I give in.
But this time, I'm glad I did. It was interesting to watch Erickson take on a modern, living royal. The end result is something that would probably have been impossible for someone who didn't already have a dozen royal biographies under her belt: a take on Princes Phillip and Charles and Princesses Diana and Fergie that didn't look as if it had wandered over from a tabloid (but wasn't hagiography, either).
This was a great book, perhaps further confirming my theory that almost any life that spans the 20th centure makes for good reading. Recommended.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.
