Monica Ali has inked a deal to publish Untold Story with Scribner on June 28th. In her new novel, the author of Brick Lane imagines what the world would be like if Princess Diana had not died in a 1997 car crash.
Here’s more from the release: “UNTOLD STORY takes the life of the world’s most famous woman as a point of departure, imagining her future and examining the meaning of identity, the cost of celebrity, and the need to find one’s place in the world. Like Diana, the fictional princess who is the novel’s heroine, is both icon and iconoclast. Will she ever find peace and happiness in her own life, or will the curse of fame always be too great?”
News about the novel first leaked earlier this month. The New York Times had an interview with the novelist about her upcoming novel.
