[Janete on hiatus due health issues]

This book shows only the bright side of the Duke (Edward VIII) and Duchess (Wallis Simpson) of Windsor; it doesn't show the innumerable defects of these two controversial people.

چطور میشه باور کرد مردی اون همه امتیاز و دارایی رو برای عشق زنی که اینقدر معمولی بوده رها کرده؟ کاش هنوز هم باشند همچین مردهایی

[Alireza]

کتاب خیلی زیبایی بود. و اینکه یه نفر چقدر برای عشق ارزش قائل باشه. بنظرم عشق به یه آدم می‌تونه مثل یه نهال باشه. اگه بهش رسیدگی بشه و بهش آب بده اون بزرگ و بزرگ تر میشه و دیگه نمیشه نادیده گرفتش. اما اگه بهش بی توجهی کنه اونم کم کم خشک میشه و از بین می‌ره.

4. When Edward left Britain, his mother said to him "I love you. I am your mother and nothing can change that. But if you marry that woman, you will break my heart. Go now. It is all very sad."
I think this words made him strong. He could decide not to come back here and be happy with woman he loved.
5. I really thought about true love through this book. Edward gave the crown to his brother and choose his love. He is very cool! I'd like to meet such a kind, strong man!

[Namiko]

Edward VIII was the king of Great Britain and other several countries. But he throw his place away for his love. I don't believe that love is forever. How could it be? Love is getting colder and colder becasue people change. Did Edward really love Wallis so much? Was it really worth it to have to leave his country?

[Sähår Ḿǿĥẳmmęd]

best English story i have ever read
just a king who left it all for his own happiness :) ♥

[Emre]

it is a very famous story in england, because of course it is a true story of a king who abdicated to be with the woman he loved. The story is very exciting, talked about a king called edward and a woman called wallis.They are the main characters. Edward met a pretty woman called wallis, he fell in love with her, but she was married with a man called winfiled and she divorced him because he was an agressive man.it is a wonderful story of love . ı liked this story because they passed for many problems but their love was very big and they got married. At the and the love was invincible and it won on everything.(THE love of a king ) Emre Akbıyık

I love the story of how Edward sacrifice all of the things he has just to stay with Wallis, the woman he loves. Like Winston said that the best things in life are free. He's right at that point that we cannot force anything to happen. We just need to observe the things that just need to yet happen. And a phrase from Edward, "When the winds change, the sea moves and it takes my boat away. " This is a lovely story that I've ever read this month.

This book was so short that I barely had time to form a thought before I finished it.

I also have to admit that I don’t really know much about kings or royal history, so this book was not for me. I only picked it up because I was gifted a copy.

There isn’t much I can really say about the story or the characters since I don’t know enough about the people or the historical context to fully appreciate it. That being said… we do love love, so good for them for finding it.

[Muhammad Ainur]

My favorite graded book! It has multiple conflicts (between the young king and his parents, teachers, and the royal family). But, the way his wife divorced her former husband was rather too fast. word count matters, I think.

[Naz]

حبيت قصة الملك انه تحدى بل و تنازل عن الملك و بلده و امه التي قالت انا احبك لانك أبني و لكن ساكون غاضبة عليك ان تزوجتها بعد ما كانت مهملة ابناءه لها جرى عجيبة

I want to say

I HOPE LONG TO YOUR TOGETHER LOVE TO EVER I HOPE YOU IN THE BEST PLACE

[Hannah]

Brief love story! The love in stories can only be understood unless you experienced one, or else it is just a story.

[Mohamed Alwakeel]

رواية لطيفة لغتها بسيطة وسهلة القراءة جداً ومناسبة للمبتدئين في قراءة الأدب الانجليزي. لمن لا يعرف، القصة حقيقية.

عندما تُحب بصدق سوف تترك كل مالديك من أجل محبوبك، إدوارد إستغنى عن منصب المُلك لأنه لايرى فيه السعادة كما يراها مع حبيبته.
