The Duchess by Wendy Holden
'Enthralling' – Daily Mail 'Fizzing with gossip, intrigue and wit' – Mail on Sunday If you love The Crown, you will love this fictional look inside the life of Wallis Simpson... ___________Love can change the course of history... Arriving in 1928, Wallis was a divorced, penniless, middle-aged foreigner with average looks and no connections. Yet, just eight years later, a king renounced his throne for her. How did a woman from nowhere capture the heart of the world's most glamorous bachelor? Wendy Holden tells the amazing story... ___________ What readers are saying about The Duchess: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A great read, fabulous story line and such a different perspective. Massive fun' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A powerful read. Perhaps we all got Wallis Simpson wrong' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Superb and powerful writing! I loved it' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A great read and I'd highly recommend to anyone who wants a less stilted piece of history' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A fascinating tale, well told' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'An amazing, fictionalised retelling of the story of Edward and Mrs Simpson'
'One of the delights of historical fiction is the what-if factor, and Holden poses a whopper: What if Edward never really wanted to be king and pursued Wallis, whom he knew he couldn't marry as monarch, to avoid the throne We'll never know, but fans of biographical fiction and British royalty will thoroughly enjoy this sparkling tale of love and loss' * Booklist *
