A biography of Princess Marie of Greece, born Princess Marie Bonaparte. Princess Marie was married to Prince George of Greece, an uncle of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In this biography, the psychological nature of the Princess is examined. The Princess was extremely interested in human sexuality and spent a great portion of her life studying the subject. A friend and patient of Freud, the Princess took up her own psychiatric practice, seeing patients while she sat in bed. It's a sad look at her life, while she was learning all she could from Freud, her children were suffering from her absence. Princess Marie made it clear to them that her happiness and research came first.

It's an interesting book, yet one that can get long and drawn out. ( )
