"Feuding Windsor brothers and their wives -- some things, it seems, never change. The Windsor Affair recreates the cataclysmic events that nearly toppled the monarchy and incited the power struggle between Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Wallis Simpson. Told from the perspective of the two very different -- yet perhaps more similar than they would admit -- wives of royals, the novel propels readers into the fabulous world of the debonair Prince of Wales, cafe society of the 1930s, and the glittering private lives of the Windsors. As Queen, Elizabeth would remain a British institution the rest of her long life. Wallis would be forever forced to enact the World's Greatest Love Story even after it sours. Across the years, these two women maintain a biting, sharp-tongued feud -- until age and the long arm of history bring about a kind of understanding. The last communication between these bitter rivals was a simple, surprising message: "In friendship, Elizabeth.""-- Provided by publisher.
