amtru 's review for:

George VI and Elizabeth by Sally Bedell Smith

3.0

---

I was engaged with this for about 2/3rds of the book, through the early WWII years, but skimmed through the end, since it was history I was more familiar with. Extremely detailed and well researched, but if you are looking for a fair and balanced view of the royals, this is not it—the author presented George and Elizabeth as nearly eligible for sainthood throughout.
