Rosie Goodwin

Author

Rosie Goodwin is one of Britain's best-loved saga novelists, a Sunday Times bestselling author who has sold over four million copies of her historical fiction. Born and raised in Nuneaton, Warwickshire — the setting for many of her stories — she worked in social services for many years and fostered numerous children before becoming a... full-time writer. These experiences gave her an intimate understanding of hardship, resilience, and the bonds of family that runs through all her work. Goodwin has written over thirty-five novels, many set in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, exploring the lives of women and children facing poverty, injustice, and adversity. She is the first author in the world to be authorised to write sequels to three of Catherine Cookson's trilogies, a mark of the high regard in which her storytelling is held. Her Precious Stones series, which includes An Orphan's Journey, follows characters named after gemstones as they navigate the challenges of nineteenth-century life. She is one of the top fifty most borrowed authors from UK libraries, testament to the enduring popularity of her warm, emotionally rich storytelling. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers sweeping, heartfelt sagas filled with memorable characters who triumph over adversity through courage and love. Read more Show less
