Ryan's background in editing non-fiction books proved to be an asset, as she was able to weave together historical details with engaging characters and a strong narrative voice. "The Chilbury Ladies' Choir" quickly became a bestseller, solidifying Ryan's place as a talented and compelling author. She has since published two more novels, "The Spies of Shilling Lane" and "The Kitchen Front," both of which have received critical acclaim.
