The Duchess Reviews

'One of the delights of historical fiction is the what-if factor, and Holden poses a whopper: What if Edward never really wanted to be king and pursued Wallis, whom he knew he couldn't marry as monarch, to avoid the throne We'll never know, but fans of biographical fiction and British royalty will thoroughly enjoy this sparkling tale of love and loss' * Booklist *
