Louise Fein

Hello, and a warm welcome to my website!

I am a writer of historical fiction told from unusual perspectives or unheard voices. My novels explore turbulent times, social change, and ideas and themes still relevant today.

 The London Bookshop Affair

PUBLISHED 16 JANUARY 2024

 

A new historical drama from Daughter of the Reich bestselling author Louise Fein, about a London bookshop involved in an espionage network, perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Pam Jenoff.

Propulsive, illuminating, and inspired by true events and figures of the Cold War, The London Bookshop Affair is a gripping story of secrets and love set against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
