Summary:
"Before she became known as the
woman
who
enticed a king from his throne and birthright, Bessie
Wallis
Warfield was a prudish and particular girl from Baltimore. At turns imaginative, ambitious, and spoiled,
Wallis
's first words as recalled by her family were "me, me." From that young age, she was in want of nothing but stability, status, and social acceptance as she fought to climb the social ladder and take her place in London society. As irony would have it, she would gain the
love
and devotion of a king, but only at the cost of his throne and her reputation. Biographer Andrew Morton offers a fresh portrait of
Wallis
Simpson in all her vibrancy and brazenness as she transformed from a hard-nosed gold-digger to charming chatelaine. Using diary entries, letters, and other never-before-seen records, Morton takes us through
Wallis
's romantic adventures in Washington, China, and her entrance into the strange wonderland that is London society. We meet an extraordinary array of characters, many of whom smoothed the way for her dalliance with the king of England, Edward VIII.
Wallis
In
Love
goes beyond
Wallis
's infamous persona and reveals a complex, domineering
woman
striving to determine her own fate and grapple with matters of the heart."--Provided by publisher.
