Excellent

Although not historically sound, this is a wonderful what-if account. What if Edward had not wanted to be king? Beautiful my written with superb narrator, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Enjoyable fiction about real events

A good companion to The Governess. It would have help if the Spanish pronunciation of THELMA had been explanatory the start, as we Brits pronounce the H! Awaiting The Princess!
