Edna Lyall, a pseudonym for Ada Ellen Baylton, drew inspiration from her own experiences and observations of society to pen 'We Two'. As a Victorian writer, Lyall was keenly aware of the social constraints imposed on women and sought to challenge traditional narratives through her work. Her background in social reform and philanthropy provided her with a unique perspective that shines through in the novel's compassionate portrayal of human relationships. I highly recommend 'We Two' to readers who enjoy richly symbolic storytelling and nuanced character development. Edna Lyall's exploration of love, society, and personal agency makes this novel a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences today.
