I felt like I got right next to Grace, behind-the-scenes with her, and I could feel her struggles, confusion, and lack of fulfillment. I am sure Grace Kelly had multiple layers to her personality and experiences just like we all do.
Overall, I enjoyed this insightful portrayal. Grace risked everything she had to become a princess- her family, her career, her independence and freedom. I have read a couple other books featuring Grace Kelly, but not one that went deep inside her possible thoughts and feelings about her life. She was lonely, confused, and not always happy, though she had to appear to be. Hollywood had been her dream, and she gave it all up for love. To transform from an actress raised in Philadelphia to a princess was not a seamless transition. Underneath, though, Grace’s life was not perfect. The story fairy tales are made of right? She’s the Cinderella of my mom’s generation.
But what she risks–her art, her family, her marriage-she may never get back. Starved for affection and purpose, facing a labyrinth of romantic and social expectations with more twists and turns than Monaco’s infamous winding roads, Grace must find her own way to fulfillment. Hardest of all for her adoring fans and loyal subjects to comprehend, is the harsh reality that to be the most envied woman in the world does not mean she is the happiest.
The loneliness of being a princess in a fairy tale kingdom that is all too real. The heartbreaking reasons she trades Hollywood for a crown. The sacrifices it takes for an unappreciated girl from Philadelphia to defy her family and become the reigning queen of the screen. The girl in white gloves.īut behind the lens, beyond the panoramic views of glistening Mediterranean azure, she knows the truth. An icon of glamor and elegance frozen in dazzling Technicolor.
