Rosemary Sullivan’s non-fiction spans literary criticism, biography, and cultural history. Her early work focused on poets, with studies of Theodore Roethke (1975) and lives of Elizabeth Smart (1991) and Gwendolyn MacEwen (1995). She later moved to broader subjects, including Villa Air-Bel (2006), about the rescue of European artists during World War II.
Her most widely discussed books are Stalin’s Daughter (2015), which won multiple awards, and The Betrayal of Anne Frank (2022), a cold case investigation that attracted both praise and criticism for its methodology and conclusions.
