Order of Carol McGrath Books

Carol McGrath crafts compelling historical fiction that brings forgotten women from the past to vivid life. Born in Northern Ireland, her passion for history ignited early through adventures exploring ancient castles and archaeological sites. This fascination led her to pursue a History degree, where she discovered her calling to illuminate the stories of remarkable women who had been overlooked by traditional historical accounts.

Readers and critics alike praise McGrath's work for its meticulous research, intricate plotting, and emotionally resonant storytelling. She launched her literary career in 2013 with The Handfasted Wife, marking the beginning of her mission to restore these powerful female voices to their rightful place in historical narrative.
