That Woman: The Life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor Audiobook

" Very interesting book ! Includes information from diaries and letters never before published. "

" I've always wanted to read a book on Wallis Simpson and this was a very good one. Actually it's a very sad story of two totally broken people. "

" A lot to tell you about Wallis's early life and her early character. But nothing new toad about her marriage to David. I must admit towards the end I was bored. "

" This book makes lots of unfounded assumptions. It reads as if written by a name dropping gossip, whose facts are pulled out of thin air. Frequently cites the correspondence between Edward and Wallis as self-involved. Of course they were self involved it was private love letters to one another. In an effort to appear unbiased the author slings mud at Wallis, Edward, the English government, and the press, thus leaving the reader annoyed and still uneducated two of the most fascinating characters in history! "

" Very interesting. Learned a lot about a very interesting time. "

" Surprising page turner! So interesting and well-written. "

" Wallas Simpson was neither all bad nor all good. She did not know when she had a good thing (husband no. 1, Ernest Simpson). However she did save the British from a weak and lazy king. And for that reason only, we should be thankful. "

" A total snore. The author surmises and then goes on to renege on her beliefs. Weird. "

" I enjoyed reading about Wallis Simpson, but I also felt it was quite distanced from her as a person. "

" More factual emphasis through Wallis's own letters on her state of mind during the courtship and abdication crisis. Less emotion and therefore less blame on her directly and more on the circumstances and mores of the times. "

" This book was poorly written and often skipped around with any explanation. The use of 130 names without any refresher on who the characters were was also disturbing. I would not recommend this book. "

" Opportunistic flirt who got in over her head with an obsessive King. In many ways, a very sad story. "

" Incredibly interesting and insightful - I love books that educate you about the lives of such interesting people. "

" I have read and seen movies about Walls and Edward and since moving to Baltimore have become even more interested. This is one of the best I have read. Really objective and very entertaining. "

" Oddly boring and not very insightful. "

" this was a great read, I never really read about the life of Wallis Simpson and really enjoyed this. "

" oooh I loved this book so much,made me go and order up other books of the period too after reading it.Whilst I didn't exactly feel sorry for Wallis,I did sympathise with her but was fantastic reading,couldn't put it down. "

" Not a brilliant read but insightful about something I knew little about. "

" Nothing really new about this woman. Always fascinating to see how history changes. "

" I just had a hard time with this book--not sure why, but I did. "

" This was a good book. A bit slow to get through but that is only because I have other books I had to read. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was a very engaging read, and I hadn't realized how little I really knew about the infamous Wallis Simpson! Definitely recommended if you enjoy biographies. "

" too much negative unfounded spectulation about Wallis Simpson "

" I really liked this book..fascinating look at this couple.... "
