Overview
- Preysler launched Mi verdadera historia at a Madrid press event on Oct. 22, appearing with her daughter Tamara Falcó before a large media contingent.
- The book reproduces eight letters Vargas Llosa sent between 2015 and 2022 and includes Preysler’s own Dec. 12, 2022 letter ending the relationship.
- Preysler frames the memoir as a corrective to what she calls false narratives, asserting she published the letters to counter claims from his entourage about his supposed unhappiness.
- She details her reasons for the breakup, citing scenes of jealousy and what she describes as poor manners, and says she told him to have someone collect his belongings.
- Preysler says she began writing before Vargas Llosa’s death and finished the book as he was dying, and the memoir also revisits earlier relationships and personal revelations.
