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, a nearly new 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. "Like all good satirists Preston wants us to laugh first - and think second" Independent on Sunday
