Norma Lorimer

"[1] Lorimer was born in Auchterarder, Perthshire,[2] the eighth and youngest daughter in a family of eleven.

[3] She was raised on the Isle of Man,[2] to which "she returned to in her fiction, showing clearly that she had 'lost her heart' to the South of the Island.

[2] She contributed to the Girl's Own Paper and wrote numerous travel books and 26 "rather sentimental novels.

"[2] "Perhaps her best book was On Etna," her novel A Wife out of Egypt became a best-seller.

[3] "The grand sweep of emotions in her Manx novels offers a fresh colouring to the history and scenery of the South of the Island whilst demonstrating the variance and colour to Manx novels.
