Norah and Emma Kindle Edition

Suffragette, animal rights campaigner, Fascist – Norah was a rebel with many causes: an enigma to her family, although not to her comrades-in-arms.

As a suffragette, she fought alongside women whose behaviour outraged Edwardian society. Today, they are remembered as brave and inspirational, but as pioneers of women’s suffrage, their struggle saw many of them imprisoned and tortured. At the same time, Norah continued a lifelong campaign for animal rights. Then, as if she didn’t have enough on her hands, in 1934 she joined the ranks of the BUF.

This fictional biography explores the personality of this energetic and impassioned campaigner. For Britain, the years 1900 to 1945 were socially and politically turbulent. Idealisms rose and fell with the ideological tides. Norah’s fortunes rose and fell with them in her personal battle to reshape society.

But her personal life was as dramatic as her public career. Her political passions affected her family and shaped the lives of all who knew her.

Born in the UK, I was eleven when Dad stirred his stumps and led our family on a peripatetic journey through Africa. Everywhere we hung our hats resonated with exotic sounds, smells and scenery–which I absorbed with childlike wonder. Along the way, I garnered a treasure trove of experiences and memories. The biggest influence on me was my Nana who we lived with before we went to Africa. It was after she died that we uprooted and went travelling. Nana was a formidable character who placed a high esteem on reading, writing and the power of words to influence. While she used them to write propaganda, my experience of losing myself in wonderfully written stories became a joy I learned to value. Through reading, I developed understanding, empathy and the ability to imagine standing in another's shoes. Now I hope to use words to bring smiles, happiness and harmony writing books that people will enjoy. Verity is my pen name but I also publish under my other moniker, Angela McPherson.

This is a fascinating insight into the workings of the mind of a woman who is obsessed with an ideal at the expense of all her close relationships. The emotional devastation she leaves in her wake is a heavy price to pay for a dream that ultimately comes to naught.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 20th Century Tragedy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2023

This novel sets a cracking pace to relate one woman's struggle to influence the history of the 20th century by inlvolvement in the major movements of suffragism, animal rights, and - yes, surprise - the fascist party.
Slowly we witness the descent of the 'heroine' into a kind of madness. But this is not a counsel of despair for those causes which we still alive and important today - it is redemed throughout the novel by the human love of individuals who care without fanaticism. At the end this love triumphs.
If the history of the 20th century interests you, you will be enthralled by this novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suffragette to Facist
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 16, 2014

A fascinating story that leaves you wanting to explore the background of the real life characters who feature in this novel. It is a clever web of fact, interwoven into fiction. The author has an extensive knowledge of Norah Dacre Fox (aka Elam) that has been combined with a fictional, yet equally intriguing and closely researched, account of the life of a Holloway wardress. You are likely to develop strong views about the characters you encounter as this emotional rollercoaster of a story unfolds.
