Critics Review
The definitive biography. In this authoritative account, Bradford paints a revealing, accurate portrait of a complex woman flawed and adored in equal measure. * Daily Telegraph *
Readers will find themselves gripped by this gloriously gossipy account. Bradford is even-handed and unafraid. – Jeremy Lewis * Sunday Times Books of the Year *
Diana is Sarah Bradford’s excellent and authoritative new biography of the most extraordinary woman in recent history … Sarah Bradford has set a high standard for the others to follow – Virginia Blackburn * Daily Express *
You feel from this book that you know the woman as she probably was, and that is because, perhaps for the first time, a grown-up has written about her – Adam Nicolson * Evening Standard *
Bradford has a real grasp of history and the ability to make it spark into new life * Sunday Telegraph *
A woman of intelligence and taste … Bradford is an excellent writer who has produced a balanced and well-researched biography. – Philip Hensher * Spectator *
A very sad story. Bradford tells it eloquently, but it’s her admirable detachment that leaves one pitying all, not one, of the characters involved. – Antonia Fraser * Guardian Books of the Year *
