“Even Brits determined to keep hating "that woman" might murmur
"you go girl!" by the final page of Rebecca Dean's engrossing The
Shadow Queen. Based on Wallis Simpson's life, the novel
sympathetically depicts how a penniless, fatherless girl used
brains, guts and charm to become the glam American divorcée for
whom a king gave up his throne in 1936." –USA Today
“A seasoned romance author brings fresh twists to this Cinderella
tale.” –Good Housekeeping
“Simpson’s story is compelling…it is fun to imagine what
circumstances catapulted this supporting player firmly onto center
stage.” –Booklist
"The book is a mix of fact and fiction that plays out against a
background of high-society living, royal house parties, diplomatic
missions and the world's involvement in the Great War…Dean's main
task is to depict the transformation of an unremarkable young
person into the kind of woman capable of motivating a man to give
up a country in exchange for her love.” –Star Tribune
“The details of Wallis Simpson's life are well known, but
seriously, what was going on in her head? A novelist imagines.”
–Denver Post
