Customer Reviews
It's so good, it's sad
What an engaging (and surprisingly fun!) read. I am not only imagining Diana, I am CELEBRATING Diana as this book lingers in my head. Long live the Queen of Hearts!
Love!
I was feeling all sorts of nostalgic after experiencing the latest, utterly romantic royal wedding so I revisited this novel which I adore (only wish was longer!) This sweeping story brings Diana to life and the royals into fine focus as a complicated yet humane family and dynasty. Yes, as others have mentioned, the ending is a five-hanky tearjerker. So good!
Great read
As a fan of alternative history, including 11/22/63 by Stephen King (which is a monster compared to this lean read) and The Plot Against America by Philip Roth, which is one of my all-time favorites, this was very well-done. There is a good amount of history and power plays within the Royal Family, which gave Imagining Diana substance, as well as a fair amount of more soapy elements, which felt strangely right considering it was a book about Diana, whose life was a soap opera. But in the end, the fictitious tale is surprisingly impactful. I can't put it out of my mind.
