Her first novel appeared in 1982, and since then her books have also been published in America, Holland and Germany.

The daughter of an Irish comedy actor, she was for many years active in amateur theatre, and lists among her hobbies, theatre, history, music, and old houses - much of her inspiration comes from old buildings and their histories and atmospheres.

Quotes by Sarah Rayne (?)

“There is somehow something extraordinarily alluring about the scent of old paper, and the feel of brittle pages. It’s a gateway opening onto the past; it’s a hand stretching out from the long-ago to clasp yours.”
― Sarah Rayne, The Forgotten Manuscript and The Unknown Crime. Two short stories.

“They never tell you, those poets and those lovers, that hatred and agony can take on solid substance on a green and gold spring morning, or that it can smell of newly-fried bacon and eggs.”
― Sarah Rayne, Property of A Lady

“Angelica,' said Harry, 'you're unique. I can't think of another female who would stage a farewell scene in a situation like this. In fact, in all my experience--'

'You know,' said Harry after a moment, 'if you don't get rid of that habit of quoting, people will start to think you might be intelligent.'

'Or,' said Angelica levelly, 'that I'm hiding a heart behind the cynicism.”
― Sarah Rayne
