...chapter written for the newly released paperback of his book on Diana, Andrew Morton states that the couple made a friendly agreement between themselves to separate. That pact did not survive stormy sessions with Charles' parents, who supposedly would love to see Diana go but resist any concessions. For instance, if a divorce were to occur, they would want her to give up her public work, which is genuinely dear to her. If she were to remarry, the royal family would want her to leave the country and her boys. It is doubtful that either the mother or the reputation...

It currently tops the New York Times paperback best-seller list...

Flesh must become word. His style swings from confessional to clinical, from pop psych to steamy paperback prose: "Her body fired explosively, every muscle contracting, and her back arched grand mal off the bed from the abutments of her feet and her shoulders." A passage comparing his own orgasm to a thermonuclear explosion may start a chain reaction of giggles...
