From the Publisher:
Imagines what the fate of Princess Diana might have been had she not died in Paris in 1997, in a story about the cost of fame and the possibility of reinventing a life. |
Annotation:
Imagining a world in which Princess Diana never dies in a car crash in a Paris tunnel, Monica Ali's novel UNTOLD STORY places the divorced royal in reclusive exile in a small American town. Reinvented with a new hairstyle, brown contact lenses, and the false name Lydia, Diana takes up painting and dates the locals. "Lydia's" fugitive life gets complicated however, when a globetrotting paparazzo coincidentally moves to town, sees through Di's disguise, and threatens to blow her secret wide open.

Praise
"As it tackles Lydia's impossible dilemma and the toll fame takes on her, the story builds to a thrilling and rewarding finish. With the recent marriage of Prince William grabbing headlines, Ali's daring and engrossing new novel is bound to garner plenty of attention." (starred review)

"Ali's great strength in her previous novels, IN THE KITCHEN and BRICK LANE, and also in UNTOLD STORY, is the way she circles her characters, using various perspectives to strip them down to their core fears, hopes and motivations."
