Welcome to Litsy!

Have you ever wondered how a na�ve nineteen-year old British Kindergarten teacher became the Princess of Wales? Or what triggered bulimia in a young woman at what was supposed to be the happiest time of her life? Or what Lady Diana Spencer was really thinking on the day of her wedding? Diana: A Spencer in Love is a novel that spans one year in Princess Diana's life - the year where she met Prince Charles, fell in love with him, became a part of the royal family and finally married him. As a novel, the book tells the story from Diana's own point-of-view - this is her voice telling what happened in the early 80's. Everyone knows the bare facts about Lady Diana Spencer - her life in London; and the short romance and engagement with Prince Charles before the fairytale wedding in front of 750 million people. But no one has told the story of what this remarkable young woman was thinking, feeling and experiencing during this incredible time. Based on the actual historical events of 1980 and 1981, Diana: A Spencer in Love charts her journey from carefree teenager to worldwide phenomenon - in just 365 days! Tantalizing snippets of Diana pop culture (e.g. "You have to marry him, Duch - your name is on the teatowels") are brought to life with vivid historical accuracy, rich dialogue and insights into the events and how Diana might have viewed them. Descriptions of royal households like Buckingham Palace, Balmoral Castle and Highgrove Estate give avid Diana fans an insider's look into what her life might have been like. A unique theme throughout the book is the legacy and heritage of Diana's Spencer background. How she admired and emulated the strong Spencer women before her and used this strength to overcome incredible challenges as she transitioned into royal life. In some ways this was Diana's untold secret weapon. We all know - or think we know - Princess Diana's story. And yet, we can't get enough of her and continue to be fascinated by this one-of-a-kind Princess even two decades after her death. Diana: A Spencer in Love won't disappoint those who want to read more about her innermost thoughts and feelings while appealing to a new audience who want to get to know the "real Diana." The story ends with Charles' and Diana's honeymoon aboard HMS Britannia as the fairytale starts to crumble. Diana has married the Prince of her dreams but will love be enough? Whatever in love means... (less)
