Eliza Knight’s five standalone novels represent a shift from her romance series into historical fiction based on real women. The Mayfair Bookshop (2022) follows Nancy Mitford through wartime London, Starring Adele Astaire (2023) tells the forgotten story of Fred Astaire’s older sister, and The Queen’s Faithful Companion (2024) explores Elizabeth II’s life through the eyes of one of her beloved corgis.
Can’t We Be Friends (2024) and Confessions of a Grammar Queen (2025) continue in this vein. The standalones have brought Knight a readership beyond her established romance audience, with the historical research and real-life subjects giving the books a different character from her Highland fiction.
