Her novel, A Conversation on the Quai Voltaire (2006), is set in 18th and 19th century Paris, Italy, Russia and Egypt, and recreates the life of Dominique Vivant Denon, one of the most significant figures in French art history. Her novel, Butterfly's Shadow (2010) set in mid-twentieth-century America and Japan, takes Giacomo Puccini's opera, Madama Butterfly as a springboard to send the characters into an imagined future. She has also written several film scripts and screenplays, including television adaptations of Graham Greene's The Tenth Man, several stories by Rumer Godden, and Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance. She has written on travel and the arts for leading newspapers and magazines, such as The Independent and The Spectator. Lee Langley is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
