Princess Margaret aroused passion and indignation in equal measures To her friends she was witty and regal To her enemies she was rude and demanding In her 1950's heyday she was seen as one of the most glamorous and desirable women in the world By the time of her death she had come to personify disappointment One friend said he had never known an unhappier woman The tale of Princess Margaret is pantomime as tragedy and tragedy as pantomime It is Cinderella in reverse hope dashed happiness mislaid life mishandled Combining interviews parodies dreams parallel lives diaries announcements lists catalogues and essays Ma'am Darling is a kaleidoscopic experiment in biography and a witty meditation on fame and art snobbery and deference bohemia and high society Brown has been our best parodist and satirist for decades now Ma'am Darling is as you would expect very funny; also full of quirky facts and genial footnotes Brown has managed to ingest huge numbers of royal books and documents without losing either his judgment or his sanity He adores the spectacle of human vanity' Julian Barnes Guardian"

| "Neither Commissario Brunetti nor his wife Paola have ever had much sympathy for the Italian armed forces so when a young cadet is found hanged at Venice's elite military academy Brunetti's emotions are complex pity and sorrow at the death of a boy close in age to his own son and contempt and irritation for the arrogance and high-handedness of the boy's teachers and fellow students The young man is the son of an ex-politician a man of an impeccable integrity all too rare in Italian politics But as Brunetti - and the indispensable Signorina Elettra - investigate further no one seems willing to talk as the military protects its own and civilians keep their own counsel Is this the natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the authorities or is Brunetti facing a conspiracy of silence?"
