Edna Lyall was the pseudonym used by English novelist and early feminist Ada Ellen Bayly (1857-1903). She was the author of 18 novels in all, the success of which was due in part to her practice of using characters from one novel in a different capacity in her next. This work, first published in 1890, is set in Norway and England.

Excerpt from We Two: A Novel Brian Falls in love. Still humanity grows dearer, Bring learned the more. Jean Ingelow. There are three things in this world which deserve no quarter - Hypocrisy, Pharisaism, and Tyranny. People who have been brought up in the country, or in small places where every neighbour is known by sight, are apt to think that life in a large town must lack many of the interests which they have learned to find in their more limited communities. In a somewhat bewildered way, they gaze at the shifting crowd of strange faces, and wonder whether it would be possible to feel completely at home where all the surroundings of life seem ever changing and unfamiliar. But those who have lived long in one quarter of London, or of any other large town, know that there are in reality almost as many links between the actors of the town life-drama as between those of the country life-drama. Silent recognitions pass between passengers who meet day after day in the same morning or evening train, on the way to or from work; the faces of omnibus conductors grow familiar; we learn to know perfectly well on what day of the week and at what hour the well-known organ-grinder will make his appearance, and in what street we shall meet the city clerk or the care-worn little daily governess on their way to office or school. It so happened that Brian Osmond, a young doctor who had not been very long settled in the Bloomsbury regions, had an engagement which took him every afternoon down Gower Street, and here many faces had grown familiar to him.

Edna Lyallwas born on March 25, 1857 in Brighton, United Kingdom, the daughter of a barrister.
Edna Lyall was educated at Brighton private school.
At Eastbourne, where most of her life was spent, Edna Lyall was well known for her philanthropic and political activity. She was a Vice-President of the Women’s Liberal Association.
Edna Lyall's vogue as a novelist was the result of a combination of the story-teller's gift with a sincere ethical and religious spirit of Christian tolerance, which at the time was new to many readers.
The book which was set in Bosbury, “In Spite of All”, first appeared as a play performed at the Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne, in January 1900.
Over nearly 25 years, she wrote 19 novels including two children’s books: Won by Waiting, On the Golden Days, Autobiography of a Slander, To Right the Wrong and so on.

She was described by one interviewer, Ellen Velvin, in Windsor Magazine in 1895: “Edna Lyall is slight and fragile in appearance, with a quiet, restful face, full of expression, kindly thoughtful eyes, firm mouth, a high intellectual forehead, and an abundance of dark brown hair. To strangers she is rather shy and reserved. She is full of sympathy and cheery encouragement, ever ready to give practical help and advice, or to do anything in her power to make things a little brighter for others. ”
She never married.
