His Lovely Wife

His Lovely Wife BY ELIZABETH DEWBERRY (HARCOURT, $24)

Some women are defined by the men they marry. In this book, the author helps one woman confront her own identity by mirroring the character's life with that of the definitive bride-Princess Diana.

Raised in Birmingham by her former Miss Alabama mom, Ellen Baxter never imagined she would marry a Nobel laureate, join him in Paris for a physics conference, and patronize the same salon as Lady Di.

The book's time span covers only a few days, but for Ellen, these are days filled with voices from the past and voices from the grave. After literally stumbling upon the scene of Princess Diana's fatal car accident, Ellen battles not only the realization of her unhappy life in Buckhead, but also Diana's voice in her head. She struggles to find answers for both quandaries.

With insight and passion, Elizabeth Dewberry gives hope to every woman who has ever been introduced as "his lovely wife." EMILY WEBSTER
