Before Wallis by Rachel Trethewey
First history to explore the women Edward VIII loved before Wallis Simpson dominated his life
“Rachel Trethewey … discovered vast swathes of previously unpublished correspondence between Edward VIII and his mistress of 16 yearsIn doing so she also uncovered a really very remarkable exchange of wartime letters between the King and his mother, Queen Mary, which also are unpublished. To me, this is an extraordinary treasure-trove … it sheds new light, just when you think there's no more light to be shed, on Edward VIII.” -- Christopher Wilson
