Elisabet & Margaret, Ljudbok
Herkullisen yksityiskohtainen ja intiimi kuvaus kahdesta hyvin erilaisesta sisaresta - joista Elisabet taipui velvollisuuksiinsa ja Margaret vastusti niitä.Kun prinsessa Elisabetia koulittiin tulevaan rooliinsa kuningattareksi, prinsessa Margaret sai elää omaa nuoruuttaan. Isän lemmikki Margaret oli kapinallinen, joka ei kunnioittanut rajoja, kuten hillitty sisarensa. Margaret oli aikansa muoti-idoli ja kansan mielessä raikas tuulahdus tunkkaiseen ja muodolliseen hoviin.Margaretilla oli vaikeuksia sopeutua kuninkaalliseen rooliinsa, mikä aiheutti jännitystä lähipiirille.Elisabet pakotti sisarensa valinnan eteen: kuninkaallinen asema tai rakastaja, ei molempia. Pettyneestä Margaretista kehkeytyi lehdistön lempiaihe, savukkeita sauhutteleva elämännautiskelija, jolla oli lukuisia rakkausseikkailuita. Samaan aikaan Elisabet keskittyi kruunun edellyttämään hillittyyn elämäntapaan. Julkisuuskuvan takana he kuitenkin olivat aina sisaret, lujassa liitossa.Hovielämäkerturi Andrew Morton tunnetaan arvostetuista elämäkerroistaan. Hän tarkastelee maailman kuuluisimman perheen Windsorin sisarten yksityistä maailmaa varhaislapsuudesta ja sotavuosista aina aikuisuuden polkuihin asti.
