About Donna Douglas

Donna Douglas is a Sunday Times bestselling writer of Romance and historical fiction author of the Nightingale books. She was raised in South London, where she started making up stories seated in the coal shed in their backyard. She creates heartwarming sagas whose settings are in wartime Britain. Books have always been a rare material in her family, but she got inspired through watching storytellers on TV. The Nightingale novels are set in a hospital in 1930’s East London, which turned out as a success. Helen is always quiet and loves to study, and she is referred to as tell-tale. The rest of the girls don’t trust her because of her formidable mother, a Trustee of the Hospital, and rules the staff and her daughter with an iron fist. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Nightingales Books series, Donna Douglas has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
