She has become a bestselling authour, having written 6 novels (5 published to rave reviews and the 6th one to be published in February 2022 in Canada and the US). Her meticuluosly researched and beautifully written historical fiction has earned her several honours, such as Globe and Mail Best Book of the Year and a spot on The Washington Post’s most notable fiction list. Her books have been translated to many languages.
