DESCRIPTION:A fresh perspective on Wallis informed by Paul’s extensive knowledge of China and his access to archives in China not available to previous biographers. Her Lotus Year reveals the full story of the  transformative year Wallis Simpson spent in China\, a time that hasn’t been fully recorded before but was absolutely fundamental to who Wallis was to become.\n\nIn conversation with Georgy Jamieson\n\nAbout the author\n\nBorn and currently based in London\, Paul French lived and worked in Shanghai for many years. After a career as a widely published analyst and commentator on China he is now a full-time author\, focusing on China and Asia in the first half of the twentieth century. He previously appeared in our festival (online thanks to Covid ) to talk about his book City of Devils: A Shanghai Noir \n\n[caption id="attachment_14543" align="alignleft" width="150"] photo by Sue Anne Tay[/caption]\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n
