A review by caroparr
The Windsor Faction by D.J. Taylor

3.0

Like Taylor's [b:Derby Day: A Novel|12584210|Derby Day A Novel|D.J. Taylor|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1347954638s/12584210.jpg|16476935], which I adored, this is a slow-paced novel with multiple characters and points of view, culminating in a slow-motion crash of characters and events told in an epilogue. There are lots of plot elements (Edward VIII is on the throne, Nazi sympathizers are attempting to influence the King, spies and traitors are everywhere, scenes are set in Ceylon, London and the English countryside), but read this for Taylor's perceptive, vivid prose.
