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.

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!

Enjoyable fiction about real events

Lovely narration

This book takes a few historical facts and surrounds them with what the author imagines might have happened and definitely falls into the chick lit category. The reader had a pleasant voice but couldn't do accents.
