Hello - thanks so much for visiting. I write epic and intimate historical fiction which sweeps you away to beautiful locations, moments of forgotten history and unforgettable relationships. My most recent novel THE GOLDEN HOUR is a twin timeline set in thirties Cairo, and Paris of the East bohemian 70s Beirut.
I'm looking forward to introducing my new book, THE SILVER THREAD, which is coming soon from Simon & Schuster.
It's a story of three cities - London, Paris, Tokyo - two women, and one hundred years. I loved the research for this novel, which is filled with art, fashion and an east/west love story. All my books have elements I most enjoy reading about myself - family secrets, real historical figures making cameos, beautiful houses and locations.
Each story also has at its heart something I love, whether that's travel, art, photography or perfume. I've written about the girls who flew Spitfires, the little known 'artist's Schindler' in the south of France, and the women who fought and reported the Spanish Civil War. Historical fiction is like time travel and I love how it lets you see how people made sense of their lives in difficult times.
When you finish writing a story it belongs to the reader. What I hope is that when you reach the last page you feel this is a beginning, not an end, that these characters will live on in your imagination and you might find yourself wondering what they are going to do next.
Now these stories are yours.
Happy reading -
Kate
