Ebook {Epub PDF} The Windsor Faction by D.J. Taylor

British writer DJ Taylor calls his novel, "The Windsor Faction" an "alternative history". To me, there are two kinds of "alternative histories". One would be a total change of history, like Robert Harris's excellent novel, "Fatherland", in which Adolf Hitler has won WW2 and he meets American "President Joseph Kennedy" in the 'bltadwin.rus:  · In our world, however, in his 11th novel, DJ Taylor does the reverse. The Windsor Faction starts with a tremendous prologue, set in December , which we know as the month of Estimated Reading Time: 5 mins. The Windsor Faction is an ingenious exercise in might-have-been, which assembles a cast of real and imaginary people in a horrifyingly plausible re-invention of history. About The Author D. J.

THE WINDSOR FACTION. by D.J. Taylor ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 25, An amusing historical novel and piece of alternative history from Taylor (Derby Day, , etc.). The book is set in England in the years leading up to World War II: Here, Wallis Simpson, the American woman Edward VIII abdicated the throne to marry, dies in December In D.J. Taylor’s The Windsor Faction, that moment came in when Wallis Simpson died rather than caused the abdication crisis. Edward VIII, in this history, stayed king through and on, rather than his brother, George VI. In our history, Edward was a German sympathizer. Through pastiche journals, which showcase Taylor's facility as a pitch-perfect mimic of mid-century idiom, The Windsor Faction follows Nichols's efforts to persuade the King to make a broadcast.
