About The Event

On this new tour, step back into the elegant drawing rooms and picturesque castles of 1930s England with bestselling author Bryn Turnbull. Our tour will explore the world of Thelma Morgan Furness, protagonist of Bryn’s novel The Woman Before Wallis. Wife of a viscount, lover of Edward VIII and twin sister to Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, Thelma was part of a transatlantic high society where the martinis flowed and the scandals were even more plentiful.

As much as these scandals were fodder for party gossip, they expose deeper issues for us to explore. Edward’s relationship with Thelma’s friend Wallis Simpson and Gloria’s custody battle for her young daughter raised questions about social and political power, sexuality, and expectations for women. Edward VIII’s affairs were not just a family scandal, they had real political ramifications. Through our discussions, excursions and walking tours, gain a deeper understanding of 1930s England in all its complexity — the glamorous hotels and clubs; innovations in literature, architecture and music; scandals and power struggles in the royal family; political unrest and the looming shadow of WWII.
