Katherine Reay has published twelve books since her debut, Dear Mr. Knightley, in 2013. Her early novels are known for drawing on classic literature, with titles referencing Jane Austen, the Brontes, and other beloved authors. Dear Mr. Knightley follows a young woman who writes letters to a fictional benefactor, while The Austen Escape and The Bronte Plot both build stories around readers passionate about those classic writers.
Her more recent work has shifted toward historical fiction. A Shadow in Moscow, The Berlin Letters, and The London House explore stories set during the Cold War and World War II, with characters navigating espionage and family secrets in European cities. The Winsome series, starting with The Printed Letter Bookshop, stays closer to contemporary women’s fiction, set in a small-town bookshop.
Reay also published one non-fiction title, Awful Beautiful Life, in 2019. Across her fiction, her books tend to appeal to readers who enjoy stories about books, literature, and characters finding their way through difficult circumstances.
