pickI have been fascinated with the abdication of King Edward VIII and his romance with Wallis Simpson for a while now, and recently stumbled across his memoir. This was a slow read for me, because he goes into such great detail and introduces everyone! 😂
Wallis doesn‘t really make an appearance until about 3/4 of the way through, as a heads up.

pickGood. Shows a different side to this woman and her life. Even though this story has been told in various ways this brings a different perspective and adds to the well known story.

pickI knew next to nothing about Wallis Simpson before reading this. I‘d vaguely heard about the abdication of Edward VIII, but not the details. I‘d imagined a great love story, but it seems that Wallis was a bit of a social climber whilst Edward was a rather weak character & ultimately they weren‘t happy together. 3.5🌟
Anyone else have a historical figure that you are fascinated about? Mine is Wallis Simpson - I don‘t know why I find her fascinating but I do. I have read several biographies about her.
#CurrentlyReading - I started my #bookspin #doublespin book last night. A bit of a slow start, but the Anglophile in me definitely wants to know more. Thanks for the motivation to finally dive in @TheAromaofBooks
#MOvember #Masterpiece is the theme song from the movie WE written & directed by Madonna. Film is about the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson. Never saw the film, maybe Amazon Prime or Netflix will have it. Wallis Simpson sounds like an interesting character.
