The more improbable a premise, the more fascinating it can be. Wendy Holden, a multi-award-winning journalist, has done a remarkable job in bringing to life the story of a man of whom few have heard – Fredy Hirsch, a German Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz who died at the age of 28 in 1944.

Fry completes his retellings of the Greek myths with the story of Odysseus and his wanderings. The familiar narrative bounds along in a chatty style, coloured with mildly revisionist insights into the characters – Fry’s Menelaus, for instance, is more winning than Homer’s (and Tennyson’s) wimp. There are imaginative reconstructions of key scenes – Agamemnon’s death being a particular corker – and Fry sticks with Homer’s love of high-end interiors – nothing Spartan about Helen’s palace at Sparta.

The bridesmaid walked by, bringing up the rear behind the little ones. It was the youngest Spencer. What was her name, again? The Queen Mother thought hard. She was sure Charles had mentioned her, briefly. Some Althorp shooting weekend. As she passed, the girl turned her head. Just a sideways glance from under her lashes, but it made the old queen sit up. Now she remembered the name. Diana. The 1978 wedding of her sister Jane was the moment Diana Spencer, then 17, was star-spotted by the Queen Mother.

POPULAR Published: 17:05 EST, 30 November 2023 | Updated: 17:05 EST, 30 November 2023 I devoured this Hollywood thriller, whose heroine Mae is in ‘black bag’ PR. She cleans up bad celebrity stories, and boy are they terrible. Teen actor deaths, bent politicians, sex, drugs, murder. Mae never judges — until someone she loves is killed. I turned the pages so fast my hands were a blur.

Holden presents the information through the eyes of a fictional friend of Diana's from boarding school. Sandy is invited to visit Diana in April 1992 in Kensington Palace. They reminisce about the past, and Diana shares the details about the "romance" with Prince Charles that led to their marriage.

By Wendy Holden Save Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time. Got it It's 26 years since the death of Princess Diana. She is now an historical figure, in a proper historical context. I thought that she deserved a proper historical novel and that was one reason why I chose her as a subject. I can also claim to have met her, in a way. I used to work for glossy magazines in London and my path crossed Diana's several times.
