Clarissa píše historické romány, ktoré sa odohrávajú najmä vo viktoriánskej a edvardiánskej Anglicku. Od detstva ju fascinovalo všetko viktoriánske: oblečenie, zložité spoločenské rituály, priepasť medzi bohatými a chudobnými a závratné tempo pokroku vo vede a technológii. Jej romány vzdávajú hold jej obľúbeným viktoriánskym autorkám, ako sú sestry Brontëové, George Eliot a Thomas Hardy. Okrem písania románov je Clarissa tiež univerzitnou inštruktorkou a vášnivou milovníčkou gramatiky.
