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 * A woman of intelligence and taste ... Bradford is an excellent writer who has produced a balanced and well-researched biography. -- Philip Hensher * Spectator * Bradford has a real grasp of history and the ability to make it spark into new life * Sunday Telegraph * 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 * 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 * Readers will find themselves gripped by this gloriously gossipy account.
