About this product

Product Information

For fans of the Netflix series The Crown and from the author of the New York Times bestseller 17 Carnations comes a captivating biography of Wallis Simpson, the notorious woman for whom Edward VIII gave up the throne. "You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance." -Wallis Simpson Before she became known as the woman who enticed a king from his throne and birthright, Bessie Wallis Warfield was a prudish and particular girl from Baltimore. At turns imaginative, ambitious, and spoiled, Wallis's first words as recalled by her family were "me, me." From that young age, she was in want of nothing but stability, status, and social acceptance as she fought to climb the social ladder and take her place in London society. As irony would have it, she would gain the love and devotion of a king, but only at the cost of his throne and her reputation. In WALLIS IN LOVE, acclaimed biographer Andrew Morton offers a fresh portrait of Wallis Simpson in all her vibrancy and brazenness as she transformed from a hard-nosed gold-digger to charming chatelaine. Using diary entries, letters, and other never-before-seen records, Morton takes us through Wallis's romantic adventures in Washington, China, and her entrance into the strange wonderland that is London society. During her journey, we meet an extraordinary array of characters, many of whom smoothed the way for her dalliance with the king of England, Edward VIII. WALLIS IN LOVE goes beyond Wallis's infamous persona and reveals a complex, domineering woman striving to determine her own fate and grapple with matters of the heart.

Andrew Morton presents a convincing picture of Wallis Simpson's rip-roaring sexual and social adventures and her curious marriage to the Duke of Windsor."-- Sarah Bradford, international bestselling author of Elizabeth: A Biography of Her Majesty the Queen and Diana

A World with Wallis
I’ve always been interested in the Royals. I didn’t know much about Wallis or the Duke of Windsor until I read this book. I knew more of Diana maybe because of my own age. I was born in 1972 after the Duke had passed away. I need to remember the drama surrounding her death. Sudden and unnecessary. I read the book from beginning to end a few chapters every night until I was finished. I like the way the author captured all of the characters and was very true to their demeanor and behaviors. I liked the fact that he offered some times different perspectives, Whenever there was a conflict of information. Whether it be from Wallis or someone who knew her or David, the Duke. Just the fact that this woman could change many a man to cause the course of history to be altered was very interesting. What did she have that intrigued them so? Wit, charm, beauty, intelligence, persistence or just luck? The abdication of the Duke is very well known. This book gives you insight as to the life that they lead after the fact. Whether or not they were truly happy together not being king and queen or Duke and Duchess or His and Her Royal Highness, is only known between the two of them even though this book was written. I think others will enjoy the book thoroughly and have purchased additional books about Wallis Simpson or Wallis Windsor to continue learning about a historic event that changed many lives, especially the Royals.Read full review
