Book excerpt: Critically acclaimed, best-selling biographer Donald Spoto recounts all the pain, promise, and joy of the last year in the tragically short life of Diana, Princess of Wales. For those of us who loved and admired her, Diana's final year was in many ways the most fascinating and insightful of her life. It was a turbulent, amazing period in which she formally severed her marriage ties to the heir to the British throne, fell passionately in love with Dodi al-Fayed, and truly began to come into her own after years of personal adversity. In Diana: The Last Year, Donald Spoto allows us to finally understand the complete story of this woman in conflict. Diana was driven by a philanthropic desire to relieve suffering and change the world, but she was also determined to make up for a youth that was taken from her, at the age of nineteen, when she became the wife of the future king of England. In Donald Spoto's elegant and richly satisfying book, Diana's last year is set before us in all of its triumph and glory.
