Items related to The Windsor Faction
Autumn 1939. In a parallel world where Edward VIII never abdicated and the Second World War might have taken a very different course...
Storm clouds gather over Europe, German troops amass and a ‘King’s Party’ of fascist peace campaigners is stealthily undermining the war-effort. Country house parties teem with conspiring Tory MPs, an American Embassy clerk pilfers Presidential telegrams and paranoia grips MI5.
In the offices of Duration magazine Cynthia Kirkpatrick finds herself at the centre of a web of intrigue. Journalist Beverley Nichols is engaged on the most important commission of his life – a speech for King Edward VIII that will shock the nation. As history threatens to derail, both learn that taking sides can be a very dangerous business.

Review:
"Compulsively enjoyable" (Independent)
"A tense phoney-war thriller, as evocative in its period representations as it is compelling in its denouement" (Mail on Sunday)
"With its meticulous period detail and its dissection of the English class system at work, this new novel from the author of the highly accomplished Derby Day proves that good historical fiction does not have to take place in a past that actually happened" (Nick Rennison Sunday Times)
"It is much harder to show historical change occurring through incremental creep rather than sudden swerves of direction. That DJ Taylor’s novel achieves this so well makes in an unusually smart and subtle addition to the genre... Gripping entertainment" (Robert Douglas-Fairhurst Daily Telegraph)
"A splendid “what if” thriller... Terrific" (Daily Mail)

A taut and gripping thriller: King Edward VIII is on the throne and keen to broker peace at any cost - WWII could turn out very differently...
