Her first novel, Love and Friendship (1962), is a story of romance and deception among the faculty of a snowbound New England college. It won favorable reviews and established her as a keen observer of love in academia. It was followed by the well-received The Nowhere City (1966) and The War Between the Tates (1974). In 1984, she published Foreign Affairs, her best-known novel, which traces the erotic entanglements of two American professors in England. It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1985. Other novels include Real People (1969), Only Children (1979), The Truth About Lorin Jones (1988), Women and Ghosts (1994), and The Last Resort (1998). Her nonfiction books include The Language of Clothes (1981), Don't Tell the Grown-ups (2001), etc. Women and Ghosts was published on August 1, 1994. ISBN: 978-0385-4739-27. BS13886.
