I have been fascinated with the abdication of King Edward VIII and his romance with Wallis Simpson for a while now, and recently stumbled across his memoir. This was a slow read for me, because he goes into such great detail and introduces everyone! 😂

Wallis doesn‘t really make an appearance until about 3/4 of the way through, as a heads up.
