About this product

Product Information

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.

"That Woman" - Bravo Anne Sebba!
Unfamiliar with the work of Anne Sebba, I saw a documentary of the late Duchess of Windsor Wallis Simpson and observed a reference to the author. This, as usual with me, caused an instant search for more information. Finding the new book on EBay, I purchased it quickly. I have not been disappointed for a single moment; indeed I have been utterly fascinated. Mrs Simpson, the Queen-that-wasn't, was a complex, pitiful figure with little recourse in her early life. Sadly, she ended her life as she started it - alone, outcast, with few friends and scant regard for the truth. With considerable and documented research, Sebba manages to get to the real essence of 'that woman' and does so with no real bias or judgement. Interestingly, it is Sebba's incidental analysis of the Royal Prince's character that shows his younger brother was clearly the better choice as King. If you have an interest in history, women in the early C20th or scandalous royalty, I would recommend this book with no hesitations. In fact, I have now started to look for other works by Anne Sebba.Read full review
