About Helen

Helen Constantine writes non-fiction and historical fiction inspired by brave and remarkable women in World War II.

Her books shine a light on little known female heroes from this era. Women whose courage and resilience were often overlooked or downplayed after the war. Ordinary women who risked their lives to help others and do what they felt was right. Their stories deserve to be more widely known.

Her books aim to rescue these women from obscurity so they can inspire current and future generations with their courage, determination, compassion and integrity.

Following the publication of Saving the Children of the Holocaust, Helen was drawn to explore women’s courage through fiction. Her debut novel, The Lady at the Louvre, is inspired by the remarkable story of Rose Valland.

Helen lived in the UK, Italy and Belgium as a child and went on to study languages at university. She now lives in Southeast England with her husband, three children and lively flat-coated retriever. 

Helen is busy researching more extraordinary women—whose remarkable achievements remain barely known—gathering inspiration for future books. She looks forward to sharing their fascinating stories with you soon.
