Duchess of Windsor [Hardcover]

Diana Mosley (Author), Jack Le Vien (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1980

An intimate friend of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Diana Mosley was a frequent guest at their parties in Paris or at "the Moulin" in Orsay, where they were neighbours. Written in her inimitable style - archly intelligent, witty and perceptive - Diana Mosley paints a remarkable portrait of her friend that is both extremely life-like and realistic with regards to the flaws of her friend. What was it that utterly captivated the heir to the throne and made him renounce it so that he might never be parted from her? It is this question which Diana Mosley seeks to answer and which she is better qualified to answer than anyone else, given her love of her husband Sir Oswald Mosley, Leader of the British Fascists. The book also includes portraits of her other friends, such as Evelyn Waugh and Lytton Strachey.

This review is from: Duchess of Windsor and Other Friends (Hardcover)

Really, I am quite puzzled....don't you have to have the book in order to review it? I have been waiting since September 11th to receive this book and have been told to continue the order since then. My question is - how can Amazon sell a book they don't have....I checked and the book is still being offered for sale and I don't even have mine.....WHAT IS GOING ON?
