Title: Read only if you must read everything about Mrs. Simpson
Review: This book was checked out of the library by mistake...having mixed it up with another book. I tried to read this and just had to ask myself "why am I bothering?" And why did Caroline Blackwood waste her time in "researching" this book and tracking down former friends of Wallis Simpson who, if they were still alive, were not very willing to talk and usually couldn't remember much anyway. The time period of the book is after the duke's death and her last days in Paris as a widow carefully guarded by her French attorney. It is the attorney who is really at the center of the book and quite a nasty bit of work by all accounts. Still, this is a most tedious read about very uninteresting people. I gave up about 25% through. Your mileage my vary.
