Foreign Affairs: A Novel

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction: Alison Lurieâ‚¬s supremely entertaining masterwork about two American scholars, both alone in London, who find romance in the most unlikely places.

Prim, divorced, and middle-aged, Vinnie Miner gave up on love long ago. On her way to London to research a book about childrenâ‚¬s folk rhymesâ‚¬"a scholarly pursuit that even her fellow academics sneer atâ‚¬"she finds herself sitting next to the man who will change the course of her life. Brash and naÂ¯ve, he is a sanitary engineer from Oklahoma on a package vacation.

Also in London is Vinnieâ‚¬s colleague, the young, handsome English professor Fred Turner. His marriage and self-esteem are both on the rocks, but he is about to find consolation in the arms of the most beautiful actress in England. Stylish and highborn, she introduces Fred to a glamorous, yet eccentric, London scene that he never expectedâ‚¬"or preparedâ‚¬"to encounter.
