Though perhaps better known for her tumultuous marriages to the
painter Lucian Freud and poet Robert Lowell, Caroline Blackwood
remains a woman whose formidable intellect and artistry indelibly
marked every person she met and every sentence she crafted. When he
interviewed her a year before her death in 1996, The New York Times
chief art critic, Michael Kimmelman, called Blackwood a strangely
dramatic woman: intense and vulnerable, with . . . a dark,
razor-sharp sense of humor and an offbeat sensibility.
In 1980, Lady Caroline Blackwood was commissioned by "The Sunday
Times" to write an article on the aging Duchess of Windsor, who was
said to be convalescing in her French mansion in the Bois de
Boulogne. Yet what began as a curiosity was to become for Blackwood
one of the most challenging experiences of her writing career,
launching her into a battle of wits with the Duchess's formidable
lawyer, Maitre Suzanne Blum.
