Rowan Coleman’s standalone novels have earned her a devoted following among readers of contemporary women’s fiction. Her books are known for tackling difficult subjects like illness, grief, and family breakdown with empathy and without sentimentality. The Memory Book and We Are All Made of Stars are among her most acclaimed titles.
Her earlier novels like Growing Up Twice, After Ever After, and River Deep have a lighter romantic comedy feel, while her later work has grown more emotionally ambitious. Titles like The Summer of Impossible Things and The Girl at the Window add elements of magical realism and suspense to her usual strengths.
