E. H. (Emily Hilda) Young
Emily Hilda Young (1880–1949) was a British novelist best known for her finely detailed and psychologically insightful novels set in the early 20th century. Her works often explored the lives of women, moral dilemmas, and the social dynamics of family and community. Some of her notable novels include "Miss Mole," which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1930, and "William," both of which reflect her deep interest in character development. Young's novels, once popular, fell into relative obscurity but have since been rediscovered for their sharp wit and emotional depth.
