In my 63 years on this planet I have read practically everything there was to read about this enigmatic couple, particularly Wallis. The author presents her with a fresh outlook I found fascinating. It was a joy to read and kept my attention throughout. The author delved into different theories trying to explain, once again, how these two wildly separate people came to be inseparably entwined together, changing history with their meeting. I like the way the author kept the spotlight strictly on Wallis; her letters, physical appearance, jewelry, love of couture and diet was extremely interesting. She even brought out new insights into some well known facts about their lives and travails. The author does not sugar coat Wallis but also describes how her years of exile and rejection by Edward's family took their toll.I really found nothing negative to complain about. I found several of the author's theories very intriguing but even she stated that no one will ever no the real truth behind their attraction to each other. Maybe the book won't be taught in college but I found it to be a delightful read and well worth it.
Quite readable, but it is obvious throughout that the author wants to 'rehabilitate' Wallis Simpson, at least to the extent that people feel sympathy for her. I would rather have had a bit more evidence and less interpretation (especially the psychological speculations which at times seem to come out of nowhere). However,since actual evidence (diaries, letters, etc) is significantly lacking or not easily accessible, I suppose it is to be expected. Personally, I think a companion volume called The Man Who Never Wanted To Be King (But Always Wanted His Own Way) would go along way toward filling out the complete picture of a bizarre event in British history.
I was expecting lots more from this biography of Wallis Simpson, but aside from quoting from some of Wallis's more recently-discovered letters, Sebba does little but rehash the old familiar stories. The book focuses on the lead-up to the abdication crisis, with barely a nod to Wallis and Edward's post-abdication, post-Bahamas years. Sebba recounts in detail many of the salacious rumors about Wallis only to acknowledge reluctantly that they can't be proven. Wallis comes across as a hollow woman, but one who deserves better treatment at the hands of a biographer.
This was such an interesting book. I've read a little bit about Wallace Simpson, curious about her. Nothing that gave the background I found in this book. It genuinely helped to gain a measure of understanding. The part I found most impressive was that the information didn't feel biased. Facts were presented and a very readable and interesting history told. This was a person who had issues from her youth that she never gained perspective on. Those issues were her guiding force. What a shame she allowed herself to become the woman she did. Had she been able to channel her drive in some positive other way, whatever she chose she would have mastered. She chose to try to climb socially by using the men in her life, always seeking the next best financially secure situation she she could find. She unwisely ended up in a web of her own creation.Originally I had chosen the book because of its title. Assuming it to be a book that would be slanted only toward the British feeling toward Wallace Simpson. There is certainly information here that shows British feeling toward her. That feeling derives from the information itself, not the authors editorializing. The book also shows American perspective. I was very impressed. It would have been so easy to create a book that simply pictured her as a gold digger. The time was taken to relate background information. To tell her history without editorially slanting it. Absolutely a biography worth reading!
I didn't like this at all; it is so poorly written, it is almost incoherent, and there is so much cheap speculation that it reads like a supermarket tabloid. If you are interested in history, this is not your book.
Anne is one of the first, if not the first, woman to tackle the complex woman that Wallis was and the equally complex world Wallis lived within. Her treatment of Wallis is done with class and elegance, just as Wallis would have required. That said, Anne has some interesting theories about Wallis that could in many ways explain Wallis' behavior around men as well as women. And you really, 'feel,' for Wallis at some points, especially when it came to the royal family's 'regard' for Wallis. If you like a compelling story, a glimpse into the rarefied world of pre and post WWII royalty, this is the book for you!
Interesting reading. Don't know how accurate it was when it came to some medical conclusions on the Dutchess. Since there are no medical evidence to back up any claims ... All they do is throw doubt on to the entire book. As a result, I enjoyed reading this book, as a fluff piece ... Nothing more. If you want an historical piece, there are other works ... This should not be your first choice.
I haven't even finished reading this yet but it was a gift so I suppose I'll get through it eventually. A more accurate title would be "Wallis Simpson. Rumors I've heard and things I'm guessing at". Some things that are presented as "facts" don't give a source. Sometimes the author brings up a point and then drops it. Example: Wallis wrote that she and Mary Kirk continued their friendship after boarding school but the author says that "in private" Mark Kirk said otherwise. Then she drops it. Many pages later (seemed like forever) we learn of a rocky time between them. Maybe this is Mary's version? Who knows? The author didn't say. Maybe in another 10 chapters she will. The writing is difficult. Many sentences are so long they don't keep the readers attention. The author poses the possibility that Wallis had a physical condition but has no proof of it. In spite of having no proof she's determined to convince her readers that it must be true. As I said, this book was a gift so I will try to get through it. Please wish me luck.
