Omschrijving

The Day The Queen Died is a gripping and poignant exploration of the media's response to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, capturing the cultural, emotional, and professional impact of a historic moment.

As the news breaks, we are taken behind the scenes of radio stations across the UK, from the polished halls of Manic Classical to the hedonistic chaos of Manic Rock, and from the BBC's empathetic local connections to corporate CHR stations grappling with clashing priorities. Through the eyes of presenters, producers, and regional directors, the novel delves into the tension between professionalism and personal grief, exploring the pressure to perform while the world mourns.

From the aristocratic charm of Captain Lord Tarquin Pendlehurst-Carpenter in ceremonial preparation to the youthful reflection of James Smith returning from Ibiza, The Day The Queen Died offers a sweeping narrative that intertwines duty, history, and the power of media in shaping collective memory. This thought-provoking work highlights the human stories behind the headlines, revealing the sacrifices and complexities of broadcasting during a time of national transition.

Whether you're fascinated by the intricacies of live media, the interplay between tradition and modernity, or the societal impact of a monarchy's end, The Day The Queen Died offers a powerful narrative you won't forget.
