That Woman: The Life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor by Anne Sebba
Wallis Warfield Spencer Simpson is a hot commodity today. Madonna has a new movie coming out based on her, there is a new stage drama in London called The Last of the Duchess, and there is the upcoming novel Abdication by Juliet Nicolson that is a “breathtaking story inspired by a love affair that shook the world at a time when the world was on the brink of war.” (I will certainly be adding this title to my Books to Pine For list). Is it any wonder why the Duchess of Windsor would be a subject of great fascination and intrigue? In THAT WOMAN, Sebba takes an in depth look at letters that portray the Duchess in a new and more detailed light.
If you are looking for a great love story, THAT WOMAN may not be your cup of tea. “Few who knew them well,” writes Sebba, “described what they shared as love.”
