Sarah Rayne Series

Following a convent education that included writing plays, Sarah Rayne explored various professions before inevitably returning to her passion for writing. Her novels, first published in 1982, draw inspiration from her deep interests in theater, history, music, and old houses, particularly their atmospheres and histories. She often weaves in elements of ghosts and ghost stories, combined with the vibrant spirit of good conversation reminiscent of her 1960s upbringing. Rayne's unique voice emerges from this rich tapestry of influences, creating compelling narratives rooted in the past and the unseen.
