Sarah Steele

Sarah Steele  trained as a classical musician before beginning a career in publishing with Hodder & Stoughton. She was a freelance copy-editor and editor for many years before publishing her first novel The Missing Pieces of Nancy Moon with Headline Review which became a USA Today Bestseller. Her two following novels, The School Teacher of Saint-Michel and The Lost Song of Paris are set in wartime France. The Traitor’s Wife, about the Italian Resistance in Naples, is out later this year (2023). As a writer of historical fiction, Sarah relishes the research element of her work, enjoying the challenge of creating whole new casts and storylines around a skeleton of historical fact.
