Sarah Rose (born 1974) is an author and journalist known for D-Day Girls and For All the Tea in China.
Early life and education
Rose was born in Chicago and attended the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, Harvard College, and the University of Chicago. She lives in New York.
Books and television
Rose's newest book, D-Day Girls, was published in April 2019 and debuted at #11 on the Indie Bestseller List. It tells the story of women who were infiltrated into France ahead of D-Day to arm and train the French resistance by the secret British agency, SOE. Author Erik Larson called it, "Gripping...Spies, romance, Gestapo thugs, blown-up trains, courage, and treachery (lots of treachery) —and all of it true." Foreign Policy said, “D-Day Girls, written with novelistic detail, weaves together five women’s narratives using historical research from contemporary periodicals, archives, and interview records. . . a new library and a more robust approach to analyzing women’s essential role in war.”
Rose's first book, For All the Tea in China, was published in 2009, and tells the story of Robert Fortune, the nineteenth-century Scottish botanist who, in stealing tea plants and seeds from Qing China, committed "the greatest act of industrial espionage in history." Guy Raz, of National Public Radio's All Things Considered, called it "a wonderful combination of scholarship and storytelling," and the Associated Press said it was "a story that should appeal to readers who want to be transported on a historic journey laced with suspense, science, and adventure." Her book received awards from BBC Radio (as "Book of the Week"), Booklist, Strategy+Business, AudioFile, and elsewhere. On the other hand Huw Bowen, Professor for history at Swansea University, criticised the book due to its "basic errors adding to serial misconception and misunderstanding" in his review for the Guardian.
In 2010–2011 Rose co-starred, along with her close friend Joel Derfner, on the reality television series Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys, which follows the lives of four women in New York City and their gay male best friends. The show debuted on the Sundance Channel in December 2010.
Journalism
Rose was The Wall Street Journal's Dynasties columnist, writing a bi-weekly news column covering New York's billionaire real estate families. Her features have appeared in major newspapers and magazines such as Outside, Chicago Sun-Times, Toronto Globe and Mail, The Economist, Men's Journal, Bon Appetit, National Geographic Traveler, Travel+Leisure, Departures, The New York Post and many others. Rose also wrote a humor column about dating for Saturday Evening Post and Men's Fitness. She was awarded the North American Travel Journalists Association Grand Prize in Writing and a Lowell Thomas Award. She was also a grant winner from New York Foundation for the Arts.
