That Woman: The Life Of Wallis Simpson Duchess of Windsor
A new biography on the Duchess of Windsor manages the impossible: It is more boring than her and of even less consequence. The only amusement to be gained from it is following up the constant contradictions contained in it.
Wellington: A Journey Through My Family
Weidenfeld & Nicholson just published Wellington: A Journey Through My Family by Jane Wellesley. The Right Honorable Lady Jane is the daughter of the present 8th Duke of Wellington and takes the reader a bit haphazardly but amusingly through 200 years of family history and anecdotes.
Queens Consort
Lisa Hilton wrote Queens Consort, published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. The medieval lives of England’s Queens are presented in a well researched book. As a bonus, it’s a darn good read as well.
