The Windsor Conspiracy: A Novel of the Crown, a Conspiracy, and the Duchess of Windsor
English
By (author): Georgie Blalock
Georgie Blalock, the acclaimed author of The Other Windsor Girl, delivers an enchantingly reimagined fictional portrait of Wallis Simpson through the lens of her cousin who is engaged to spy on the Duchess of Windsor for her alleged Nazi sympathies and finds much more than she bargained for!
American Amelia Montague defied her family five years ago to marry the man she loved, but that decision cost her everything. Disowned by her family, and left a penniless widow after her husbands death, Amelia becomes her cousin Wallis Simpsons private secretary in France. With no other prospects available, Amelia has no choice but to succeed, and under their Aunt Bessies direction, hopes to have a positive influence on Wallis and the Duke of Windsor.
During the next two years, Amelia realizes that not everything with the Windsors is glittering happiness. Beneath the façade of the besotted couple simmers Walliss rage at her stunted ambition, and the couple soon reveal themselves to be self-centered Nazi supporters who pursue their own interests at any cost.
When the Germans invade France, and the Windsors leave Amelia to escape the Gestapo on her own, Amelia finds herself in position to work for the most unlikely of employers: MI5 and the FBI. Convinced to work undercover, Amelia joins the Windsors in Nassau and soon realizes that Walliss treachery extends far deeper than the US and British government even knows
Richly imaginative, Georgie Blalocks novel stuns as it explores two women, opposites in every way, and the choices they make to survive both war and each other. . .
