    Sheila Kaye-Smith fing in ihren frühen Romanen die Essenz des ländlichen Lebens in Sussex und Kent ein und erforschte Themen wie Landwirtschaft, Landerbschaft und die sich entwickelnden Rollen der Frauen. Später in ihrer Karriere verlagerte sich ihr Schreiben auf ihre religiösen Überzeugungen und ihre Konversion zum Katholizismus. Als engagierte Jane-Austen-Gelehrte arbeitete sie auch an Büchern mit, die Austens Werk untersuchten.
