Kenneth Rose was one of the most astute observers of the establishment for over 70 years. The wry and amusing journals of the royal biographer and historian made objective observation a sculpted craft. His impeccable social placement located him within the beating heart of the national elite for decades. He was capable of writing substantial history, such as his priceless material on the abdication crisis from conversations with both the Duke of Windsor and the Queen Mother.

An Excellent Slice of Mid-Century History
Revisado: 02-11-19
I thought this very well done. Of course for those not interested in 20th century history it will not resonate. However, I was absolutely fascinated. And while so many of these types of diaries can be bitchy and unkind, I thought this was exceptionally fair. The writer was well-balanced and likable. The narration was excellent and it was a perfect combination of gossip and genuine historic record keeping. I would highly recommend it.

Any additional comments?
As a general rule, I don't make on-line comments. However, there was so much negative feedback about the narrator that I almost didn't buy this VERY enjoyable book. I rather wondered if the power of suggestion started an avalanche of negative comments?
I thought that Heather Wilds' work was every bit as good as the other Moriarty narrators. The book itself isn't quite up to "Big Little Lies", but then it was written 10 years earlier.
I think it would be a real shame if Moriarty fans missed out simply because they'd gotten swept up in the commentary about the narration. Like all things in life, we need to open our minds to new voices and interpretations!
