I enjoyed the dual stories of Wallis Simpson and Princess Diana.  It was an interesting contrast moving between the female characters way of life in the earlier 1900s verses 1997.  The author is clever how she ties the two stories together.  I preferred the tale with Wallis since she is a living character in the novel.  Simpson’s era is fascinating, and the author has plenty to work with exploring her longtime friendship with Mary Kirk, and her relationships with three husbands including Prince Edward and the abdication. 

 

While a work of fiction, I was surprised to learn some facts I wasn’t aware of prior to reading.
