That Woman: Life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor by Anne Sebba |
So many studies of Wallis Simpson have demonised her. This serious biography aims to humanise her by revealing what it was in her background and make-up which drove her behaviour. Set within her own social, historical and geographical context it looks at what kind of woman she was and then at the toxic crisis of her own making which ultimately she wanted to but was powerless to stop. Too late, she was trapped.
