For this candid,
vastly entertaining study of the woman at the heart of the "Romance of
the Century," Stephen Birmingham conducted extensive interviews with
intimate friends and associates of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and
culled unpublished news stories of the time (never printed because of the
British media's cautious handling of royal scandals). The result is Duchess:
a full-scale portrait, sympathetic yet thoroughgoing, that traces the
Duchess of Windsor's life from her birth to the present day, and provides
fascinating glimpses of the private life and personality of one of history's
most public women. |
