What is Elizabeth, The Queen Mother about?

An authoritative and affectionate biography of the Late Queen Mother. Harold Nicolson called her the greatest Queen since Cleopatra, while Cecil Beaton called her a marshmallow made on a welding machine. Stephen Tennant She looked everything that she was gentle, gullible, tenderness mingled with dispassionate serenity, cool, well-bred, remote. Behind this veil she schemed and vacillated, hard as nails. Who was she? The Queen Mothers story has not yet been properly told. This was partly due to her long life, and the difficulty that always exists when a biography of a living person is attempted, partly because she was a queen and the real person gets hidden behind the perceived image and partly because she is hard to pin down. From her privileged aristocratic childhood, to the abdication and the problems with Diana, this book questions how she faced her challenges and crises, assesses her role, how powerful she was, and how she coped. This is a candid, personal portrait of one of Britains most loved national treasures
