A Lovely Read

The subject, Princess Grace has been well researched and told with intimate detail without the "tabloid" style. I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it highly to those that enjoy biographies. Donna M

A decent biography

This is a decent biography of Princess Grace, and I would recommend this book for anyone whom is starting to study royal history or Princess Grace. The only problem I had with this book is that it needs to be updated slightly; particularly the effects of her death on her children and husband. As well as acknowledging Prince Rainer's death in 2004.

From The Inside Flap:

Grace Kelly's career was the ultimate fukfillment of the American dream. The granddaughter of an immigrant farm boy from Country Mayo, she became a top Hollywood star and then the wife of a ruling European Prince. Idolized by Alfred Hitchcock, courted by Clark Gable, Bing Crosby and William Holden among others, she abandoned her glittering career at twenty-six for marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco. Yet she remained a star, her golden image adorning the covers of magazines and the front pages of newspapers until her untimely death in 1982. The whole world morned the Princess from Philadelphia and her former subjects wep in the streets. Who was Princess Grace? Despite her extremely public life as actress and princess, wife and mother, she remained an unusually private person. Sarah Bradford, author of two highly praised biographies, has traveled thousands of miles to interview her family and friends, the people who worked with her from Hollywood to Monaco, to compile the first full-length insight into the remarkable woman whom the world knew simply as "Princess Grace."
