Produktbeschreibung
It's 2007, Harry's twenty-three and he has problems he can't handle alone. The army considers him a risk. The press thinks he's a brat. Girls like him because he's a prince. He just wants to be normal. He hopes service in Afghanistan will help him prove himself. Instead, deployment exposes the vulnerability under his bad boy persona and results in a comic coming of age he definitely didn't see coming. He's always hated the media so he doesn't know what to do when he falls for a reporter from CNN. It's complicated by the fact that she's a woman disguised as a man to evade the Pentagon's ban on women in front line positions. Nor does he anticipate making a gay best friend in a brother officer named Mustafa. And what's his former nanny doing on the plane to Kabul? There's also a warlord driving a Mercedes and a colonel who'd much rather be reading Shakespeare. Together they stumble upon buried trauma from Harry's childhood. If he can learn how to cope with all that, he may find fulfillment he never dreamed was possible in being a prince.
Autorenporträt
I'm a novelist, biographer, historian, scribbler, and dabbler. I've helped make commercials about chocolate chip cookies. I've taught history to college students and led dazed kids on London theatre trips. Somehow my first novel MRS QUEEN TAKES THE TRAIN became a national bestseller. It has been optioned by The Weinstein Company for a movie. A second novel PRINCE HARRY BOY TO MAN will be published in June. I've also written nonfiction on Jackie Kennedy Onassis as a lifelong lover of books in READING JACKIE. My biography of a funny couple who lived with Queen Victoria, HENRY & MARY PONSONBY, was a BBC Radio 4 book of the week. I've played with the question of Benjamin Disraeli's sexuality in THE POLITICS OF PLEASURE. At my most decadent I will put on a pair of cashmere socks. I buy airline tickets on impulse. I wear antique military jackets around the house when no one's watching. I live in Boston, Massachusetts, and whenever I can in London too.
