Résumé
Welcome to a time when supper club are sublime, the servants are revolting and Mr Hitler seems like a decent type... Maybell Brumby and her old school friend Wallis Simpson go a long way back, so when they are reunited in London in 1932 they fit together like a horse and carriage. Maybell has the money and Wally has a nose for useful connections - and before long Wally reels in a very big fish : the Prince of Wales. Aimless and underemployed, the heir to the throne is ripe for being taken in hand. But even scheming Wally hasn't allowed for a chest cold carrying off the old King... The scandal, the abdication, and the world rolling relentlessly to war : Maybell's diary records it all in a confection of candyfloss, acid drops and the occasional hard centre. Everybody thinks they know the story of the divorcée from Baltimore who stole the King but nobody tells it like Maybell...
