Elizabeth (Liz) Stride was swedish. Born Elisabeth Gustavsdotter just outside Gothenburg. For some reason she emigrated to London. Had a parttime job as a cleaner and got the rest of her money to survive by prostitution. A warning to all of us! Avoid London!!! Indeed! Don't go there! I'd be terrified if a British man walked up to me in a dark alley. Weapon in hand or not Attachment Deleted

@wayoftheredpanda
I'd be a bit wary about getting From Hell, its not a murder mystery, partly it is, but a lot of it has to do with the politics and history of London and its role in the British Empire as well as the history of the monarchy, its very history dense. It also goes into a lot of history into the societies and cults which were prominent in London at the time as well. Its not the type of book you would suspect. Okay I can see what you mean now, 3 chapters in and I'm already lost. I understand the illegitimate child thing, but all the Brotherhood cult thing wobble-jobble is a bit strange. Probably would have been a better idea to research the whole conspiracy theory the book is based upon first.

Not dissimilar from a lot of other writers.

One of the victims was Swedish? To be fair, who in their right mind would go to London? Elizabeth (Liz) Stride was swedish. Born Elisabeth Gustavsdotter just outside Gothenburg. For some reason she emigrated to London. Had a parttime job as a cleaner and got the rest of her money to survive by prostitution. A warning to all of us! Avoid London!!! Ah, I recognized her name in "From Hell" from this conversation, she even mentioned her immigration from Sweden.

I wonder, why are mothers known as "Mom" in North America, but in the UK they are known as "Mum"?

...Diz...I've found in the past that she can be like that sometimes. Kinda quiet and reserved. Don't let it upset you, she just might need a little time....or isn't up to talking much. You know how that happens to people sometimes Sis. It's not your fault. 🙂 (((((Dizzy)))))
