Critical Reviews

Booklist: "Fans of Netflix’s The Crown will delight in this well-researched tale of high society scandal involving a little-known woman whose story is begging to be heard."

Bookreporter.com: "This sweeping, stellar tale will delight all kinds of readers, but especially those who enjoy learning about people lost to the passage of time."

Historical Novel Society: "I recommend this juicy read about the scandals and lives of the rich, famous, and royal."

Quill & Quire: "The Woman before Wallis marks a promising new voice in historical fiction."

The Girly Book Club: "This is Turnbull’s debut novel, and I’d recommend it to fans of past GBC authors Kelly Rimmer and Taylor Jenkins Reid, blending the appeal of a beach read with rich historical fiction."
