A biography of Wallis Simpson.
A mixture of very interesting facts (I had no idea she was still married to Mr Simpson at the time of the abdication, I always had the impression he was long gone) and wild speculation (she was flat-chested and a graphologist said her handwriting was masculine so she could have been a man with a hormonal disorder). Read with a large dose of salt handy.

A very interesting read about the Duchess of Windsor. I learned things I was unaware of and I think this book portrays Wallis overall in a better light than is normally perceived at least here in the UK
