Isabel Preysler Sets October 22 Release for Memoir ‘Mi verdadera historia’

Espasa says the book seeks to dismantle long‑circulating myths about her life.

Overview

  • The publisher confirmed the title and release date in a communiqué announcing the memoir this week.
  • The book traces her journey from childhood in the Philippines through high‑profile relationships with Julio Iglesias, Mario Vargas Llosa, Carlos Falcó and Miguel Boyer.
  • Espasa’s promotional note presents her as brave, self‑critical, tolerant, fun and a staunch defender of individual freedom.
  • Follow‑up reporting says she will also reflect on her family life as a mother and grandmother and on arriving in Spain at age 20.
  • Preysler told Harper’s Bazaar she pursued the project to correct accounts she says did not tell the truth after working on it for more than a year and a half.
