DING 2012: "Born at Westerfield, Suffolk, she resided there until 1869, when she moved to Hastings. Best remembered for her novels and travel books with a French subject matter. Some of her novels take place in her native Suffolk.”
Leclaire (1954:229): "Born in Suffolk. Writer on French rural life. Extensive travel. She had her home at Hastings. Her other stories of English life are hardly localized, and deal with upper middle-class life. In the following [The Lord of the Harvest, A Suffolk Courtship, Mock Beggar's Hall, A Humble Lover], she is a disciple of Hardy."
