The first authoritative biography of one of the most fabled women of the twentieth century-Princess Diana-that paints an insightful and haunting portrait, a "chilling vision of loneliness, need, and untreated mental illness" (USA Today).
"[Sally Bedell] Smith has done a remarkable job extracting what's genuinely pertinent and interesting about Diana. . . . If you're going to read one Diana book, this should be it."-Newsweek
For all that has been written about Diana-the books, the commemorative magazines, the thousands of newspaper articles-we have lacked a sophisticated understanding of the woman, her motivations, and her extreme needs. Most books have been exercises in hagiography or character assassination, sometimes both in the same volume. With Diana in Search of Herself, acclaimed biographer Sally Bedell Smith has written the first truly balanced and nuanced portrait of the Princess of Wales, in all her emotional complexity.
Drawing on scores of exclusive interviews with Diana's friends and associates, Smith explores the events and relationships that shaped the Princess, the flashpoints that sent her careening through life, her deep feelings of unworthiness, her view of men, and her perpetual journey toward a better sense of self. By making connections not previously explored, Diana in Search of Herself allows readers to see Diana as she really was, from her birth to her tragic death.
Original in its reporting and surprising in its conclusions about the severity of Diana's mental health problems, Diana in Search of Herself is the smartest and most substantive biography ever written about this mesmerizing woman.
NOTE: This edition does not include photographs.
