This book is pure gossip. The writer is assigned to find what is really happening to Wallis Simpson. She's been ill for a long time and nobody seems to know if she is alive or dead. She managed to speak to her lawyer and she didn't get a lot of information from her. So instead, she wrote this book explaining how awful the lawyer was. She also spoke with a lot of old ladies, most of them seniles, who knew the Duchess of Windsor to a greater or lesser extent. The results of these conversations and a lot of quotes of the biography written by J. Bryann compound the whole book. Read that instead.
