Adele Geras writes children's, young adult and adult fiction, with a long-standing interest in fairy tales, mythology, family stories and historical settings. Troy retells the Trojan War through young women living inside the city, while Ithaka focuses on Penelope's household as Odysseus remains absent. The Egerton Hall trilogy reworks familiar fairy tales in twentieth-century settings, and many of her shorter children's books use animals, ballet or family life. Geras also writes adult novels about families, secrets and relationships. Her style is clear and story-led, with mythic material often approached through domestic viewpoints. Her books suit children's mythology, historical fiction, fairy-tale retellings and intergenerational family novels. Read more Less
