ANDREW ROSE'S THE WOMAN BEFORE WALLIS RECOUNTS THE UNTOLD STORY OF PASSION, SCANDAL, AND DECADENCE BETWEEN A COURTESAN AND A BRITISH PRINCE

Prince Edward was the King of England when he famously abdicated his crown over his love for the American divorc e Wallis Simpson. But two decades earlier, he was an awkward and inexperienced young man, socializing with Europe's elite while stationed behind the lines during World War I. It was there he met the alluring Marguerite Alibert, the queen of the Paris demimonde.

Marguerite had fought her way up from street gamine to a woman haut de gamme to become one of the highest-ranking courtesans in Paris. Prince Edward was instantly smitten, but their affair eventually turned sour. Edward thought he was free of Marguerite--until she murdered her husband, a wealthy Egyptian playboy, by shooting him three times in the back at the Savoy Hotel in London. With Marguerite on trial for murder, Edward was at risk of having their affair exposed. What happened next was buried for decades, uncovered now thanks to exceptional access to documents held in the Royal Archives and private collections.

solid dress shoes for the price
Size: 12, Color: Black
solid dress shoes, specially when factoring in price. Fit to my size and work well for rare business dress days at my work. They aren't most comfortable dress shoes ever, but as long as not doing long walks in them, should be fine!

Good shoes for the buck
Size: 13, Color: Dark Brown
Great shoes (I wear them to work and church) and the pictures don’t do them justice. They look really good in person. Very comfortable and hold up nicely

Decent Work Shoe, But Stitching Flaw
Size: 9.5, Color: Black, Size: 9.5, Color: Black
I like these men's derby shoes for my husband, but I'm not too surprised they are flawed considering they are Amazon brand. Not to say anything bad about Amazon Essentials by any means, since they have great, affordable products available. However, they are obviously not the super expensive men's derby shoes that are out there. I'm grateful to have a lower cost option, hence me getting them, but there were some minor issues. The stitching on the ankle rear of the shoe was a bit off. They are also a thinner faux leather, not as sturdy as a more expensive material would be. For the cost, though, they are exactly what I needed. These will not be returned and will be used for a work event. No complaints from the husband about fit or comfort. And the color and style were as expected.
