Bestselling biography of the enduringly fascinating Wallis Simpson
One of Britain's most distinguished biographers turns her focus on
one of the most vilified women of the twentieth century. Historian
Anne Sebba has written the first full biography by a woman of
Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor. 'That woman', as she was
referred to by the Queen Mother, became a hate figure for ensnaring
a British king and destabilising the monarchy. Neither beautiful
nor brilliant, she nevertheless became one of the most talked-about
women of her generation, and she inspired such deep love and
adoration in Edward VIII that he gave up a throne and an empire for
her. Wallis lived by her wit and her wits, while both her apparent
and alleged moral transgressions added to her aura and dazzle.
Based on new archives and material only recently made available,
this scrupulously researched biography sheds new light on the
character and motivations of a powerful, charismatic and complex
woman.
