Before Diana, there was Katharine. Each in her own way struggled against the results of an unfortunate choice, but struggle they did. Katharine Kent, as she now wishes to be called, spent a happpy childhood idolized by her father, before slipping into what her family considered an advantageous marriage and her future mother-in-law deplored. Carrying the weight of physical and mental illness, the duchess became at great personal cost what the London Tablet referred to as "the nicest of the royals." This account, objective and somber, could have been better written, but the character of this remarkable woman carries her into the heart of the reader in spite of its repetitive and rather uninspired style.
