Description for The Real Wallis Simpson: A New History of the American Divorc�e Who Became the Duchess of Windsor
Review �Pasternak seeks to �strip away decades of grotesque caricature� about Wallis Simpson (1896-1986). The author offers a variety of thought-provoking arguments to counter the accepted wisdom about Simpson� Pasternak's most illuminating point is that she knew how to soothe [Prince Edward] and helped him understand the necessity of his duties; unfortunately, she was unable to curb his obsession with her. The author provides a host of intriguing insights into a misunderstood woman. Those who have read other accounts will want to look at this other side.�, Kirkus Reviews�Pasternak's mission here, accomplished with style and discernment, is to give appropriate balance to how history has proffered Mrs. Simpson's character and motives (many have viewed her as a gold-digger) and recorded her role in the abdication crisis. What Pasternak poignantly reveals is that both the king and Mrs. Simpson demonstrated incredible na�vet� about the consequences of their marriage.�, Booklist'The book does have the Desert Island Discs effect of making you take notice of and see the compassionate, vulnerable sides of someone you�ve subconsciously compartmentalised all your life as too rich, too thin and, let�s be frank, too American....What makes the book unputdownable is Pasternak�s lively and detailed (and thankfully not Mills & Boonsy) retelling of this ever-fascinating, ridiculously poignant love story.', The Times Read more About the Author Anna Pasternak is the New York Times bestselling author of�Princess in Love�and�Lara, which revealed the true story of the love affair behind her great uncle Boris Pasternak�s�Doctor Zhivago.
