The Osler Women Lawyers’ Network is excited to present a book club discussion on The Woman Before Wallis: A Novel of Windsors, Vanderbilts, and Royal Scandal on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, with bestselling author Bryn Turnbull.
The Woman Before Wallis is based on the true story of Thelma Morgan Furness, the American woman who lost Edward, Prince of Wales, to Wallis Simpson in 1934. It centers on Thelma’s real-life involvement in The Matter of Vanderbilt, a trial which saw Thelma’s twin sister, Gloria Vanderbilt, sued for custody of her daughter on charges of negligence, unfit parenting and homosexuality. As her sister gains international notoriety, Thelma looks on, knowing that her own fall from grace might not be far behind.
We would like to send you your own copy of the book to read over the summer. On Wednesday, September 14, 2022, we will host an in-person event on the patio of Coffee Oysters Champagne with a discussion by the author followed by a cocktail party.
To ensure that your book arrives on time, please fill out the RSVP form with your delivery address and a phone number before Wednesday, August 3rd.
Space is limited, so please RSVP at your earliest convenience.
