His Lovely Wife Book

When tall, blond, and beautiful Ellen Baxter enters the Paris Ritz the day before Princess Diana dies, sheâ??s mistaken for Diana by the paparazzi. The next morning, as Ellenâ??s older, Nobel-laureate husband attends a physics conference, she goes to the site of the fatal crash and finds an uncharacteristic photograph of Diana. Surprised by how deeply the death has affected her, Ellen pockets the photo. As she hears Dianaâ??s voice in her head and begins to understand the parallels between their lives, she tracks down the person who took the photograph, hoping that this man who deals in surfaces can penetrate her beauty, as he did Dianaâ??s, and help her love the woman inside.

Elizabeth Dewberryâ??s complex, surprising novel uses string theory to weave together two womenâ??s lives and explore a culture that celebrates women for their beauty—then exacts a terrible toll.
