Simone Simmons
Diana: The Last Word

During the last five years of her life, Princess Diana had one friend and confidante who was special to her. She was not part of Diana's social circle; she was not a family friend. That woman was Simone Simmons, a healer who devoted herself to the troubled Princess. Who really was the love of Diana's life? Why did Diana hate her mother all her life? Why did she believe the brakes on her car had been tampered with? Who was the last person she spoke to before her death? What impelled her to co-operate with Andrew Morton, and subsequently Martin Bashir? How did Diana leak information to the press? Who were the journalists in whom she confided? In 1997, Diana told Simone she wanted her to write a book that revealed the truth about her. This is that book. It is truly the last word.

For eighteen long years Lynne Truss has tried to make her cat laugh. It has been an uphill task, and this book is recognition of outstanding courage in the face of futility. This is a riotous collection of columns about single life, in which we discover a writer not only obsessed with her cats, but prone to over-reacting generally to news stories, shopping, passive smoking, Christmas, boyfriends, snails, sheds, and people who ask, `How's the novel going?'

'A small masterpiece of comedy... with abundant close observation, the familiar is made fresh...
A continual hoot'-The Times

`Trenchant writing, invigorating valour, and a shrewdly observant wit... [Making the Cat Laugh] reveals Lynne Truss to be a social humorist of sharp insight and startling candour'- Scotland on Sunday
