Description

From the bestselling author of The Governess.

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.___________

Praise for Wendy Holden's The Governess:

'A beautifully woven and exquisitely detailed story' - HEATHER MORRIS, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz
'A great book for escaping into . . . I loved this!' - KATIE FFORDE
'A brilliantly imagined and poignant novel [...] of sacrifice, deep affection, strained loyalties and divided English society in the post-Downton Abbey era' - ELIZABETH BUCHAN




Reviews

'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 *
