Sarah Steele is a British historical fiction author whose novels are set against the backdrop of World War II and its aftermath. Her debut, The Missing Pieces of Nancy Moon (2020), introduced the dual-timeline structure that runs through much of her work, connecting a present-day protagonist to a woman’s wartime story through objects, letters, or places left behind.
Her subsequent novels are set across wartime Europe. The Schoolteacher of Saint-Michel (2021) takes place in occupied France, The Lost Song of Paris (2022) involves the French Resistance, and The Traitor’s Wife (2023) explores betrayal during the war. More recent titles, The Last Letters from Villa Clara (2024) and The Riviera Secret (2025), continue to find new corners of wartime Europe to explore. Steele’s books are standalone novels that can be read in any order, though fans of the genre will likely want to read them all.
