La Véritable Histoire De Lady L.

What if Princess Diana hadn't died?

Diana's life and marriage were fairy tale and nightmare. Adored by millions,

in her personal life she suffered heartbreak and betrayal. Within a life of

privilege, she frequently felt trapped and alone. Constrained by protocol and

precedent, she refused to follow the rules.

_Untold Story_ takes the life of the world's most famous woman as a point of

departure, examining the past and imagining a future. The fictional princess

who is the novel's heroine is at breaking point and, believing that the

Establishment is plotting her assassination, she makes an irrevocable

decision: to stage her own death and begin a new life under an assumed

identity.

After a period of intense upheaval, Lydia (as she is known) settles in small

town America and establishes a fragile peace. It is threatened by thoughts of

what she has lost: not the glamour and glitz of royalty but that which is most

precious - her children. She is, at least, safe in the knowledge - having

altered her appearance and ten years after her 'death' - that her secret will

never be uncovered.

But then a chance encounter with a member of the paparazzi robs her of that

certainty. Will he recognize her? Should she flee or remain calm? Is there

anyone she can trust and turn to, or will she inevitably be betrayed?

_Untold Story_ is a novel about family and friendship, intrigue and obsession,

the meaning of identity, and the peculiar calamity of fame.
