Download Wallis Simpson Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The project for this book goes back a long way. The idea that we were never given the real story, always gave me reason to think. This is a narrative account, and as it says inside the cover, is an hypothesis, based on a premise, and written as fiction. You will recognise many of the characters in this book as having lived in the Twentieth Century. Other characters were created to allow the fiction to take place. The story is based on the idea that Wallis Simpson was an agent acting for US Naval Intelligence. They recruited her, trained her, and set her loose on an unsuspecting public. Many of the theories proffered in this novel are not beyond the realms of possibility.

Download The Gustav Sonata: A Novel Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Winner of the 2016 National Jewish Book Award for Fiction A poignant tale about the enduring friendship between two men under the shadow of the Second World War. Gustav Perle grows up in a small town in Switzerland, where the horrors of the Second World War seem only a distant echo. An only child, he lives alone with Emilie, the mother he adores but who treats him with bitter severity. He begins an intense friendship with a Jewish boy his age, talented and mercurial Anton Zweibel, a budding concert pianist. The novel follows Gustav’s family, tracing the roots of his mother’s anti-Semitism and its impact on her son and his beloved friend. Moving backward to the war years and the painful repercussions of an act of conscience, and forward through the lives and careers of the two men, one who becomes a hotel owner, the other a concert pianist, The Gustav Sonata explores the passionate love of childhood friendship as it is lost, transformed, and regained over a lifetime. It is a powerful and deeply moving addition to the beloved oeuvre of one of our greatest contemporary novelists.
