The Elephant Never Forgets

by Ethel Lina White

Overview

"Anna often had the impression of being imprisoned within a maze, five minutes before closing-time. Its windings were neither numerous nor complicated; but, if she lost her head and took a wrong turning in her haste, she might reach the outlet-only to find the door locked." The "maze" is Soviet Russia, where Ann Brown (alias "Anna Stephanovitch"), a young English woman, lives quite happily for one summer. But then friends of her are arrested. Fear begins to spread. Terror reigns the country. Will Anna reach the "outlet", before the "door is locked"?

Later she began to write short stories, but it was some years before she embarked on books. Her first three, published between 1927 and 1930, were mainstream novels. Her first crime novel, published in 1931, was Put Out the Light, and she went on to be one of the best-known crime writers of the 1930s and 1940s in Britain and the US. Her novel The Wheel Spins (1936) was made into the acclaimed film, The Lady Vanishes, by Alfred Hitchcock in 1938. Ethel Lina White died in London.
