GRACE
Book ID/图书代码： 07204013B64776
English Summary/英文概要： Long before she became a princess, Grace Kelly was a legend, a fabled movie star whose aloof and aristocratic bearing belied a deep sensuality within. Grace the icon and Grace the woman were two very different creatures. She was deeply mourned when her car careened off a narrow road in September 1982.
Grace reveals new details about the accident and about the circumstances surrounding the star’s medical care and death. It is also the first balanced portrait of a complex, deeply conflicted actress, wife, and mother who dared to make her dreams come true - a haunting tale of a beloved tragic heroine.
The extraordinary story begins in Philadelphia, where Grace’s father, Jack Kelly, an Olympic athlete and local hero, often shunned his shy and sickly daughter. Grace was determined to win the attention of her father and the world. While carefully cultivating the image of the white-gloved young lady, she became a surprisingly brazen, even reckless, young woman.
Grace’s joy at her wedding to Rainier and her disenchantment with her cloistered palace life are recounted, the depth of Grace’s hurt caused by her husband’s autocratic treatment of her revealed.
The princess soon found herself living a separate life from Rainier in Paris. To her public, however, Grace always maintained the image of Her Serene Highness, the adored princess who had achieved perfect happiness and who kept up the hard work at her official and charitable duties.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在成为摩纳哥王妃之前，GRACE KELLY早就是一名传奇人物了。她是一名深受影迷喜爱的电影明星，她身上所散发的冷漠和贵族气质掩饰了她内在的性感。1956年4月18日，26岁的她摘下影后的后冠，走下银幕，和雷尼尔三世在摩纳哥举行了世纪婚礼，从此又戴上王后的后冠。妩媚含情的笑容，摇曳生姿的步态，使摩纳哥这个小国拥有了一位高贵美丽的王后。然而，不幸的是，1982年9月的一天，在外出的途中，她驾驶的轿车在一条羊肠小道里发生了侧翻，让这位高雅迷人的影后随风而逝，她的离世让人们扼腕叹息。
本书披露了这起车祸中不为人知的细节、她的医治状况等等。此外，本书也描绘了一位拥有多面性格，内心充满矛盾的女演员，妻子，敢于实现自己人生梦想的母亲——这是一个深受人们爱戴的悲情女星，她在我们的记忆里留下了不可磨灭的印象。
这个与众不同的故事始于费城，在那里格蕾丝的父亲Jack Kelly——曾经的奥林匹克运动员和当地著名的百万富翁，经常对他害羞、羸弱的女儿视而不见。因此，格蕾丝决定依靠自己的努力来赢得父亲和整个世界对她的关注。当她精心打造自己上流社会小姐的形象时，不知不觉中她变成了一位内心刚强，做事鲁莽的年轻女性。
在获得摩纳哥亲王妃殿下头衔后，格蕾丝一直在公众面前保持她优雅高贵的形象，这位集万千宠爱于一身的王妃喜欢从事慈善事业。(Susie)
Awards/获奖情况：I wanted to know all about the men in Grace Kelley’s life, both before and after her marriage. This book told me everything, but in a classy, well-researched way. I learned a lot about Monaco, and just the things I would have wanted to know about her family members, too. After reading this excellent book, I plan to read more of Robert Lacey’s works.
