Celia Rees’s standalone novels span nearly three decades and show her moving between genres with confidence. Early titles like Every Step You Take and Soul Taker lean toward YA thriller and horror, while her mid-career books like Pirates! (2003) and Sovay (2008) are historical adventures featuring bold young women in period settings. Pirates! follows a girl who becomes a buccaneer in the Caribbean, and Sovay is about a young woman who takes up highway robbery during the French Revolution.
Her later standalones show continued range. The Fool’s Girl (2010) reimagines characters from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Glass Town Wars (2018) draws on the Bronte siblings’ childhood writings, and Miss Graham’s Cold War Cookbook (2020) moves fully into adult fiction with a story set in post-war Germany. Rees brings the same commitment to research and atmosphere to each of these distinct projects.
