Rachel Hore writes historical and contemporary fiction in which old houses, archives, letters and family memories connect present-day lives with earlier generations. A Place of Secrets follows a young historian cataloguing papers at a country estate while uncovering a story rooted in the First World War, and The Glasspainter’s Daughter links art, love and inherited secrets across time. Later novels such as Last Letter Home, The Love Child and A Beautiful Spy continue her interest in wartime Britain and the emotional consequences of hidden histories. Hore’s fiction is character-led, reflective and rich in period detail without becoming academic. Her combination of archives, country houses and family history may also suit readers of Kate Morton and Lucinda Riley’s earlier dual-timeline novels. Read more Less
