It is not completely gibberish. I wouldn't necessarily say it is my favourite book, but it is interesting to have read. The first parts of it gives an okay, if at times very gossip-journalist and exaggerated, overview of the Danish royal family. It reads a bit like an longish article if Billedbladet and Ekstrabladet decided to merge.
Earlier in this thread I posted my account of it.
Well, I have been in close e-mail contact with Trine's husband, who is a BBC Reporter and he does not strike me as being supportive of someone who is going to go off on a limb, and write a book rife with gibberish, either.
He's sane, sound, knows what he is doing and what he and his wife are up against. Trine seems quite nice as well. She's more guarded in communicating with strangers, such as myself, than her husband is but I truly have enjoyed getting to know the two of them.
I agree with you, Norwegianne, that this book should not be entirely written off. You know, I think Trine's had a really tough row to how in writing it, being that she's come under so much fire, of late. And, her sources, while they may well be entirely credible and trustworthy, aren't daring to come forward lest they be retaliated against, by members of The Royal Household.
Trine's truly caught between a rock and a hard place, I think.
I have seen many a video interview conducted with her, and I can tell you, she does not strike me as being totally sensationalistic, nor "out for blood", and eager to air dirty laundry. I think of her as being someone very daring, bold who wants to set the record straight, about a family whose life, habits etc. are still quite shrouded in mystery.
She wants to let a little daylight in upon the magic, if you will.
I am going to send away for the book in English, that Trine and her husband tell me is ready to be shipped and ordered from its Printer in Greece.
