Wallis, Ella Bell is an author about whom limited public information is currently available; only one work, Excavating a Husband, is held in our collection. Reliable records of nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and writing career are lacking, so a full account of her life cannot yet be given. Judging from the existing title alone, the book carries a clear narrative and metaphorical quality—"excavating" may point to an exploration of marital relations or to the pursuit of hidden past secrets—suggesting a focus on family and emotional themes. With so few works, her stable writing style and literary influence cannot yet be summarized, and readers and researchers may wish to watch for further materials and titles.
