Alice French
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice French (1850 - 1934), better known as Octave Thanet, was an American novelist.
She was born at Andover, Massachusetts, and began her literary career about 1878 with studies of a social and economic bent, but soon turned to short stories, especially after her removal to the West. Iowa and Arkansas gave her opportunities for exploiting regions hitherto little attempted in fiction. Her novel Expiation (1890), won high praise.
