Sheila KayeSmith Boeken
Sheila Kaye-Smith ving de essentie van het plattelandsleven in Sussex en Kent in haar vroege romans, waarbij ze thema's als landbouw, grondbezit en de veranderende rollen van vrouwen onderzocht. Later in haar carrière verschoof haar schrijven naar haar religieuze overtuigingen en haar bekering tot het katholicisme. Als toegewijd Jane Austen-kenner werkte ze ook mee aan boeken die het werk van Austen onderzochten.
