Wallis Simpson is known as the woman at the center of the most scandalous love affair of the 20th century, but in this unputdownablelively and detailed (The Times, London) biography, discover a woman wronged by history with new information revealed by the latest research and those who were close to the couple.The story that has been told repeatedly is this: The handsome, charismatic, and popular Prince Edward was expected to marry a wellbred virgin who would one day become Queen of England when he ascended the throne. But when the prince was nearly forty, he fell in love with a divorced American womanWallis Simpson. No one thought the relationship would last, and when the prince did become king, everyone assumed that was the end of the affair.But to the shock of the British establishment, the new king announced his intention to marry the American divorce. Overnight, Wallis was accused of entrapping the prince in a seductive web in order to achieve her audacious ambition to be queen. After declaring that he could not rule without the woman he loved, the king abdicated, and his family banished him and his new wife from the country. The couple spent the rest of their days in exile, but happy in their devoted love for each other.Now, Anna Pasternaks The American Dutchess tells a different story: that Wallis was the victim of the abdication, not the villain. Warm, wellmannered, and witty, Wallis was flattered by Prince Edwards attention, but like everyone else, she never expected his infatuation to last. She never anticipated his jealous, possessive natureand his absolute refusal to let her go.Edwards true dark nature, however, was no secret to the royal family, the church, or the Parliament; everyone close to Edward knew that beyond his charming faade, he was utterly unfit to rule. Caught in Edwards fierce obsession, she became the perfect scapegoat for those who wished to dethrone the troubled king.With profound insight and evenhanded research, Pasternak pulls back the curtain on one of the darkest fairy tales in recent memory and effortlessly reveals a host of intriguing insights into a misunderstood woman (Kirkus Reviews).
