Women's Fiction Historical
Emmy-nominated actress and producer MILLIE BOBBY BROWN's
debut novel, Nineteen Steps, is a moving tale of love,
longing, and loss, inspired by the true events of her
family's experience during World War II.
"My inner history-loving teenage geek clapped her hands
in ecstasy at the thought of a historical novel penned by
Enola Holmes, and she wasn't disappointed!”—Kate
Quinn
Love blooms in the darkest days…
It’s 1942, and London remains under constant threat
of enemy attack as the second world war rages on. In the
Bethnal Green neighborhood, Nellie Morris counts every day
lucky that she emerges from the underground shelters
unharmed, her loving family still surrounding her.
Three years into the war, she’s grateful to hold
onto remnants of normalcy—her job as assisting the
mayor and nights spent at the local pub with her best
friend. But after a chance encounter with Ray, an American
airman stationed nearby, Nellie becomes enchanted with the
idea of a broader world.
Just when Nellie begins to embrace an exciting new life
with Ray, a terrible incident occurs during an air raid one
evening, and the consequences are catastrophic. As the truth
about that night is revealed, Nellie’s world is torn
apart. When it seems all hope is lost, Nellie finds that,
against all odds, love and happiness can triumph.
Nineteen Steps is a deeply affecting, mesmerizing
page-turner inspired by the author’s family history.
An epic story of longing, loss, and secrets, Millie Bobby
Brown’s propulsive debut introduces an unforgettable,
brave young woman and boldly portrays the strength in the
power of love.
