Synopsis

How could the monarchy end? Peter Preston's new novel imagines the last days of the House of Windsor as a young girl - bright but totally unprepared - is thrust on the throne after the death of her uncle. As the Court becomes delirious with intrigueand the hacks of Fleet Street wait at the gate, the recently elected Labour PM determines to control her. BESS is a terrific page-turner: a romance that builds to a funny and unexpected climax, a scurrilous satire, and a political insider's vision of the last days of monarchy.
