At a time when the choosing of a husband determines a woman's life, Lilian Eliot must decide between cool comfort or hot, passionate romance. Susan Minot (born December 7, 1956) is an American novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, screenwriter and painter. Minot's first book, Monkeys, won the 1987 Prix Femina étranger in France and was published in a dozen countries. Her other books, all published internationally, are Lust & Other Stories, Folly, Evening, Rapture, Poems 4 A.M., and Thirty Girls. In 1984, she received first prize in the Pushcart Prize for her story "Hiding". Among the anthologies that include her fiction are The Best American Short Stories 1984 and 1985 and the Pen/O. Henry Prize Stories 1985, 1989 and 2011. Minot's poems and stories have been published in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, GQ, Kenyon Review, New England Review, Swink, Mississippi Review, Marie Claire (UK edition), Fiction, Northwest Humanities Review and Atlantic Monthly. Her nonfiction and travel writing have appeared in The Best American Travel Writing 2001 and McSweeney's, The New York Times, The Paris Review, Vogue, Travel and Leisure, Esquire, American Scholar, House & Garden, Condé Nast Traveler, Victoria, and Porter Magazine. Minot has taught creative writing at New York University and Columbia University. Minot wrote the screenplay for Stealing Beauty (1996) with Bernardo Bertolucci, and co-authored Evening (based on her novel of the same name) with Michael Cunningham. Derived from a Kirkus review: Minot is a curious writer, she writes brilliantly in the tone, manner, and style of past writersFitzgerald, Hemingway, James, Cather, Woolf, even Marquand and Evan Connellthe flavor and energies of whose work she seems to have absorbed like blotting paper. This, her first novel, is the story of Lilian Eliot, daughter of upper-class Boston parents, who in 1917 is swept off her feet by a handsome young man about to depart for the war. He proves something of a cad, staying in Europe after 1918 to marry there, leaving the sensitive Lilian to make what she can of her privileged but emptiness-threatened life in Boston. Not until she's 26 and the Jazz Age has arrived does Lilian meet and marry one Gilbert Finch, a quiet young man of the proper class who also fought in Europe and now enjoys bird-watching. Gilbert will provide Lilian with three children, will recover from a nervous breakdown that's rivetingly and beautifully described, and over time will give his wifeas the 1920's end and the 1930's begin sifting through the hourglass- -stability and order but not passion. The handsome young cad from 1917Walter Vailwill reappear, giving Lilian occasion once and all to reckon up her life. Throughout, Minot offers exquisitely crafted narrative bouquets in these pages of tone-perfect and tireless garnerings from the subjects and spirit of the masters. Her eye for the acute detail is flawless, period flavor is impeccable, character is drawn with conciseness, and style is repeatedly lovely. Expert, often poignantly moving prose about life in a past time and place. Rich with pleasures from start to end. Jerry Bauer (Jacket/Author photograph) (illustratore).…
