The Darkness of Wallis Simpson
Rose Tremain Audio Book

In the title story, we find Wallis Simpson aged and bedridden, forbidden to leave the house by her Paris lawyer who will not allow anyone, friend or foe, to visit her.

Rose Tremain takes this true-life account and transforms it into superbly imaginative and ironic fiction: a tale of a dying, embittered woman who remembers her early life and loves, but has forgotten the king who gave up an empire for her.

The other stories in this magnificent collection range over a variety of themes, equally original and unexpected.

Rose Tremain has won several awards for her novels including the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. Her book ‘Restoration' was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and she won the Whitbread Award for ‘Music and Silence'.
