ⓘ About Molly Keane
It was then that she penned the manuscript for “The Knight of the Cheerful Countenance” that would ultimately be published in 1993 under Mills & Boon. She would, later on, pen several works writing as M.J. Farrell, a pseudonym given that at that time a woman writing a book would have raised a lot of eyebrows. Keane has always loved reading Jane Austen, which is probably why she is so good at creating memorable characters. In 1946, she suddenly lost her husband and when one of her plays became a massive flop she never published anything for at least two decades. She would then publish “Good Behavior” in 1981 writing as Molly Keane. The work was so well received that it was nominated and made the shortlist for the Booker Prize. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Molly Keane 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.
