Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown is getting her first novel, entitled Nineteen Steps, published on September 12.
the novel is described by the publisher as an “epic story of love, loss, and secrets” that tells the story of 18-year-old Nellie Morris, who lives with her family in Bethnal Green during the Second World War. After Nellie’s chance encounter with an American airman stationed nearby, a terrible incident occurs during an air raid with catastrophic consequences.
Millie was inspired by her grandmother Ruth, who survived the Bethnal Green Tube Disaster, which was responsible for the single greatest loss of civilian life in the UK in WW2.
Praise from the editor, Liz Stein: “I was incredibly moved by the haunting, true tragedy at the core of the novel and enchanted by the unforgettable portrait of love in the time of war.”
