Susan Ertz

Susan Ertz

Susan Ertz (1894 - April 11, 1985) was a British fiction writer and novelist, known for her "sentimental tales of genteel life in the country." She was born in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England to American parents Charles and Mary Ertz. She moved back and forth between both countries during her childhood but chose to live in the UK when she was 18. She married British Army officer John McCriddle in 1932.

A common theme running through her work involves a female character "who is thrust out on her own from a sheltered environment into a vaguely hostile external world with which she is initially unprepared to cope. Her coming to terms with this hostile world provides the fictional interest of [her] novels." One of her most highly praised books was The Proselyte , the story of a London woman who marries a Mormon missionary and moves with him to Utah.
