Kristin Harmel’s sixteen standalone novels span her evolution as a writer. Her early books — How to Sleep with a Movie Star (2006), The Blonde Theory (2007), The Art of French Kissing (2007) — are contemporary women’s fiction with romantic comedy elements.
Her later work turned to historical fiction, with The Room on Rue Amélie (2018) marking the shift to WWII-set stories. The Book of Lost Names (2020), The Forest of Vanishing Stars (2021), and The Paris Daughter (2023) became her most acclaimed and bestselling works, telling stories of courage and sacrifice during the war.
