When debutante Wallis Simpson is growing up, she devotes her teenage daydreams to one man, the future King of England, Prince Edward. But it?s Pamela Holtby, Wallis?s aristocratic best friend, who mixes within the palace circle; surely she would be the more likely of the two to form a dalliance with Edward?
Wallis?s first marriage to a dashing young naval pilot is not the kind she dreamt of; he turns out to be a dominating bully of a man, who punishes her relentlessly. And her many subsequent relationships are nothing short of disatrous.
Edward in the meantime is busy performing his royal duties and the extra-curricular ones too, those involving married women. Until the day, just before he ascends the throne as Edward VIII, when he is introduced to a very special married woman, Wallis Simpson.
Was Wallis Simpson the demon the royal family portrayed her to be? Or was she an extraordinary woman who led an unimaginable life?
A dramatic novel, that crosses continents and provides unique insight into one of history?s most charismatic and multi-faceted women.
