Lizzie Page is a bestselling British historical fiction author whose books focus on women’s lives during and after the World Wars. Her debut, The War Nurses (2018), was inspired by real-life World War I nurses Elsie Knocker and Mairi Chisholm, who rode motorcycles to reach wounded soldiers on the Western Front. The follow-up, Daughters of War (2018), drew on the experiences of writer and volunteer nurse Mary Borden.
Page’s most popular series is the Shilling Grange Children’s Home books, beginning with The Orphanage (2021). Set in post-war England, the series follows Clara, a young woman who becomes housemother at a children’s home in Suffolk. Page has also written standalone novels including The Wartime Nanny, set in 1930s London and Austria, and When I Was Yours, another wartime story. Her writing consistently returns to the theme of ordinary women handling difficult situations with resourcefulness and courage.
