About Lilian Harry

Lilian’s earliest memory is of getting snatched out of her bed by her sister at the first ominous wail of an air raid siren, and being rushed to the Anderson shelter at the bottom of the garden. It’s that memory, along with others of World War II, the roar of exploding bombs, searchlights criss-crossing in the sky, barrage of balloons floating up above, and the German parachute which landed in the garden, which informs her books with such a vivid atmosphere. When she was a young woman she worked in Civil Service and moved to Devon in order to be near her sailor husband. They had a daughter and a son. Once the marriage ended, she and her two kids moved to the Midlands, where she happily got married again to her second husband. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of April Grove, a Street at War Books series, Lilian Harry 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.
