Judithe Little’s three standalone novels each focus on women at turning points in history. Wickwythe Hall (2017) is set around World War I, The Chanel Sisters (2020) follows the real Chanel siblings from poverty through Coco’s early rise, and Glorious Ruins (2025) continues Little’s interest in historical women’s fiction.

The Chanel Sisters drew particular attention for its portrayal of the Chanel family before fame and fortune arrived. Little traces the sisters from their childhood in an orphanage through their early attempts to build independent lives in early twentieth-century France. The book is less about fashion than about survival, ambition, and the bonds between siblings. All three novels share Little’s ability to place women’s personal stories against large-scale historical events.
