Very disappointing
I read Paul French’s last wo books and they were terriffic. This was not.
Wallis Simpson is a bit player in this with overreliance in her unreliable memoir.
French draws superficial portraits of China in the 1920’s and then drops in Simpson from time to time.
Repetitive and not deeply researched., the book is neither satisfying as a history of China in theis period and particularly unsatisfying as an in-depth potrait of Simpson during this time.
