Autorenporträt
Ethel Lina White (1876-1944) was a renowned British author distinguished for her works in the mystery and suspense genres. Born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales, White initially embarked on a career as a civil servant before turning to writing. Her literary career is marked by a distinctive style that blends intrigue with psychological depth, often featuring strong female protagonists. White's nuanced portrayal of women and their societal roles was ahead of her time, offering keen observations into gender dynamics and human psychology. 'She Faded Into Air' (1941) is one of her lesser-known novels but embodies her trademark narrative skills, weaving mystery and character study into a compelling tale. White's most celebrated book, 'The Wheel Spins' (1936), gained wider recognition when Alfred Hitchcock adapted it into the classic film 'The Lady Vanishes' (1938). Ethel Lina White's storytelling effectiveness lies in her ability to build suspense, not through action-packed sequences, but through a slow, creeping sense of unease and anticipation. Her work continues to be studied and enjoyed, earning her a respected place in the canon of early 20th-century British crime novelists.
