Grace Kelly's life would seem to be the storybook American tale - that of a radiantly beautiful girl born of immigrants, the daughter of a self-made millionaire, who grew up to become the wife of a prince of royal blood, the mother of two princesses, and a son who is now the ruler of the glittering yet sinister principality that is Monaco. However, there is another story and, after years of research and hundreds of interviews, Wendy Leigh tells it here for the first time. Beautiful, elegant and mysterious, Grace Kelly captivated the world for decades but, while sometimes magical, her life had more than its share of loss and unhappiness. Leigh describes an era when a pretty girl could dream of becoming a movie star almost overnight and go on to be a real-life princess; she also records the dark side of that dream. From her premonition of her death in a car crash to her never-before-revealed affairs with a clutch of famous men - both before and after her marriage - the author approaches Grace Kelly's life with compassion and care. It is a remarkable story. It includes sensational new information, and headline-grabbing revelations. It is a major national serialisation, with a author tour.

Review:
Wendy Leigh's biography is a riveting, honest and wonderfully entertaining account of Kelly's life. As an author who went over some of the same ground while researching my book on Aristotle Onassis (Nemesis: Aristotle Onassis, Jackie O and the Love Triangle That Brought Down the Kennedys. Harper Collins, paperback, 2005) I can vouch for the thoroughness and dedication of Miss Leigh's research.
