ELIZABETH & MARGARET

Andrew Morton (Hardie Grant, $29.99) They were the closest of sisters and the best of friends. But when their uncle, Edward VIII, decided to abdicate, the dynamic between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered. Margaret would forever more have to curtsey to the sister she called Lillibet – and bow to her wishes. From their cloistered early life, through their hidden wartime years and onto their divergent paths, this book explores their relationship as two drastically different sisters – one resigned to duty, the other resistant to it.
