Why read it?
1 author picked The Mountbattens as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My focus often wanes when I am reading a lot of historic facts, but this biography of the British titled Mountbatten couple is a riveting read. Whilst their public lives and public duties brought them accolades and respect, their private lives were totally outrageous, given the time and their close connections to the Queen of England. The book offers a wonderful descriptive prose and informative insight into life around the Royal family. Andrew Lownie is a thorough, brilliant researcher and this book definitely deserves its best-selling status.
From Merryn's list on for lovers of French and Italian history, romance, and mystery.
