Unabridged Audiobook
Not enough about Grace, too much about everyone else.
Grace Kelly had an interesting life and this book interweaves the history of Monaco and the Grimaldi family. Perhaps I was disappointed because I read a lot of fiction and I missed any emotional connection to Grace and the family.
I chose this book because I wanted to learn about the life of Princess Grace of Monaco. This was the wrong book to choose for that. Some of it is about her, but much of it is about the author. Less than halfway through the book I started to tire of his name-dropping, stories about himself, and little details of his life that were not of much interest. I’ve tried a few times to return to the book. I’ve made it more than halfway through. But the story has become so annoying, trying to find something out about Grace, and only hearing about this other guy, that I can barely stand to hear his voice. So I have given up Listening to it. It really should be renamed “My Life, And How Knowing Grace Kelly affected It”.
