A review by dlberglund
High Society: The Life of Grace Kelly by Donald Spoto

3.0

There were parts of this book that were engrossing, and made me love Grace Kelly more and more. However, parts of it read like a glorious ode, and years (decades) of Grace's life are skimmed over. If this is because the family was not forthcoming with interviews and information, then perhaps he should have called the book "High Society: the professional life of Grace Kelly" and limited it to her professional life. Copious details of her early tv appearances (and plots of her movies) are included, but so little about her adjustment to married royal life is included. A good book, but definitely not excellent as a look at GRACE.
