Hannah Byron is an acclaimed author of historical fiction centered on WWII resistance women. Born in Paris in the mid-1950s to a British mother and a Dutch father, she grew up with strong ties to France, the UK, and Holland, which continue to inspire her work. Most of her novels are set in Western Europe, where history and culture run deep.

After decades of balancing life as a mother, university professor, and translator, Hannah is now a full-time author. She writes passionate novels about resistance and romance set in the 20th century—topics close to her heart. Readers often describe Byron’s work as gripping, deeply emotional, and impossible to put down.

Sometimes I let a story gist for a while and don't force myself to write every day although I feel I have to. Other times I set a timer and just write.

On Rations, Recovery, and Real Food

The empty nest syndrome works in unexpected ways. For me, once the house fell suddenly childless after decades of juggling single motherhood with a demanding job and household obligations, I let one thing go. I stopped cooking.

It didn’t happen overnight. It happened slowly, steadily. I didn’t enjoy cooking for one and eating alone, and I became adept at organising my meals so the cooker and oven c
