Michael Bloch's The Duchess of Windsor
Posted by Felice Howden in Bonus Material, Book News, Little,Brown
Yesterday we shared an extract from Wallis & Edward and today we turn to The Duchess of Windsor.
Michael Bloch’s biography of the woman Edward VIII renounced kingship to marry drew on his previous publication of their intimate correspondence, and presented a picture of her which was often startlingly at variance with previous accounts. It brings vividly to life the qualities which captivated her royal suitor, and caused some surprise by speculating that much of the mystery of her life might be explained by an element of gender confusion.
