T
itle: Wallis in LoveAuthor: Andrew Morton
Genre: Non-fiction, biography
Synopsis: A biography of Wallis Simpson, made infamous by her relationship with Edward VIII when he chose to abdicate. This book tells the story of her life through her three marriages and various other romantic relationships.
My Thoughts
I was happy to find that this biography began well before Wallis ever met her infamous husband Edward VIII. This is a book that is really about Wallis from birth to death and tells her life story through her romantic relationships. She is a complicated character who uses her social skills to make herself famous and to never have to really work a day in her life.
The way that this book is written it feels like you are reading a story and not just a list of facts about the Duchess of Windsor's life. It is a very captivating story up until after she and the Duke of Windsor marry and then it becomes a bit repetitive about how unkind Wallis was to Edward. Their diminished existence as husband and wife post-abdication is tedious and so the story follows.
If you love the British Royal Family as much as I do this is definitely worth a read!
