Wallis Simpson emerges as a layered, pivotal figure shaping a tumultuous royal era with lasting intrigue.
A thorough and illuminating biography of the infamous Wallis Simpson, who was one American half of the biggest scandals to hit royalty and the greatest love affair known for centuries.
This book will be a holistic portrayal of the real Wallis Simpson, the woman behind the myth. Richly elaborative, the book is infused with anecdotes and stylish photographs of a bygone era.
A 'real, ' honest view of the woman, straight to the point and reflecting aspects of her complex and mysterious character, drawing on research from members of the fashionable London circle, as well as the Baltimore society where she was born and raised.
The book will approach from a peripatetic view - from her inner circle of society's hottest crowds in London with the question of 'Was she? Was she not?' embroiled in sinister pro-Nazi plots, to the shores of former 'Peking', trotting through the streets on a rickshaw.
Delve into a dramatic and fascinating piece of history that took place in an upheaval of societal and economic unrest. Discover a woman who was practical and resourceful, yet went to more parties than she cares to remember. The enigmatic and multi-faceted persona that led many to believe that there was more than meets the eye.
