I would choose someone who knew her, or have access to other folks who knew her. But on second thoughts I have read interesting bios about Napoleon, Oscar Wilde or Beethoven. So it may be worth it though the margin of error exists. I know that there are historians who strongly disagree with the image we have of Nero. Ergo in any case we can only doubt about some facts in the book.

That would be my interest too. Anyway I will wait for comments about the book when ledgies who read it share it with us.
